    Uploading large batches of files

    On the spur of the moment, my family is doing business with an out-of-state office that needs to review some of our old records. Some of the files are scanned, multi-page documents that are too large to e-mail, and I want to share with them a pretty large amount of files, large and small. E-mail...

    Mac M1 running Cloud Storage - which is the best IYHO

    I am a web/software dev and I have always been in the habit of keeping everything in the cloud for the ease of having everything accessible on any device (phone, laptop, desktop and tablet) and for backup purposes (and sometimes reverting to an older version). I have used Dropbox in the past but...

    Dropbox Alternative => CloudMe

    While I looked around for the Dropbox for my G4 machines (Powerbook G4 1.5, MDD 2 x 1Ghz & Powermac G4 1.2Ghz), since @Czo had stopped updating his Dropbox magic, I found two alternatives that can sync what I type in my Powerpc realm to the current world of two-way aunthentication. 1. I use...

    Official Beta Dropbox Client for Apple Silicone Mac or Maestral?

    I just got a Mac Mini M1 and I have a Dropbox account. Is the Dropbox beta for Apple Silicone stable enough or should I use a 3rd party client like Maestral?

    Smaller DropBox Client for older 4GB Air

    My Mid 2011 MacBook Air has 4GB or RAM. But this is squeezed by DropBox's current client, which is huge. Is there any older client still around. I do not want the fancy features, just sync in a small footprint.
