This gives me many features I did not have with Dropbox, for instance: Today I bought 500GB of space (their smallest option) for $108 for a year. I am very familiar with their service, having researched and implemented it at a previous job for daily backups for dozens of servers. make sure to stop the Dropbox sync before migrating! In your case with 4 computers, you already have space reserved for these files so very little changes. That requires a lot of space which isn't a good solution if you have many / large files. Some files on your local drive would just be links, so Time Machine can't back them up unless you do NOT choose this option and instead store complete copies locally. If you choose to minimize local space, the only copy is in iCloud.

Other than manual drag and drop there is no official interface to back those files up. If you delete a file from any device, it is deleted from iCloud. It is a sync service which allows all your devices to edit and view files stored on your computer. So less than $12 per year for that functionality for me. I can change it anytime with no contracts.

Pricing: I bought 200GB initially ($3 per month) but I will go down to their lowest plan (50GB, $1 per month).

Office Online works with iCloud (so free Excel for your iPad for instance).

This is a small number of files / small total size (less than 20GB).

I want some files available on my iPhone / iPad / to share with friends.

Who knows what other corruption I will encounter? It's not like I can validate file counts or file / folder sizes using Dropbox. Fortunately I also had these files on my NAS. No error details, no way to troubleshoot without involving support.

I found these when I couldn't download their folders (starts and gets a generic error). Some individual files would immediately fail and not download (got a generic error).

Oh yeah - bit rot - there were many issues downloading the ZIP files, I had to retry at least 5 or 6 of them. I opened an account with another provider, downloaded everything and re-synchronized, and got a refund from Dropbox. Instead of asking me to do a math problem every time I need to look at a file or folder, they should either have an option or make default to display values that correspond to the Mac values shown in the Finder.

which has absolutely nothing to do with this issue.ĭropbox creates and is responsible for their web software as well as their Mac app software. support replied to part of this and wanted to explain the difference in base 2 vs base 10 storage. Stating there are 'conflicts' without identifying them - and ideally providing some dialog to resolve them - is useless. Especially with a slow internet connection and large numbers of files, downloading a new copy of everything into a new folder wastes space, bandwidth, and my time. Individual file sizes and folder file sizes should match the Finder.

What a mess! If I have to use rsync to sort this out, I will skip Dropbox and use or similar providers for my needs in the future. I have recently discovered that synchronizing a folder, then removing it from synchronization, then later adding it back to synchronization duplicates SOME folders and items into a new 'conflicts' folder, without identifying the conflicts.

Can you address that serious problem please? A simple count in a single folder isn't useful for validation. The 'workaround' you propose does not address file size differences between the Dropbox web interface and the Mac Finder. Please raise this issue on your end, this should be considered basic functionality.
