    DropBox Auto-Installs, How To Preclude

    In the main, I am a satisfied DropBox user. But lately, I’ve noticed that DB auto-installed the updates. And I prefer to preview updates before they are installed. Is there a way to preclude DB from auto-installing the updates? TIA

    Advice on Macbook / Storage for Work

    Hi all, I’m after some advice to help my wife, who works from home as a photo editor. She uses an iMac to work on clients’ photos (using Photoshop CC & Lightroom) and then uploads the finished work to Dropbox for them to grab. Then they upload the next job to Dropbox for her. In addition to...

    Cyberduck for Cloud-Access

    Recently I found out, that the latest Cyberduck-App for Intel-Macs supports two-way autentification for Dropbox, Googledrive and others. I've mailed the developers, if the PowerPC version of Cyberduck could get this feature too (currently there's only/at least webDAV-support). He answered, that...

    sync iMac local files with Dropbox vs Sierra iCloud sync

    I'd love to use Sierra's sync features which keep local and iCloud versions aligned while also monitoring free space. BUT iCloud just isn't reliable enough (see Ben Lovejoy's right-on comment today on 9to5 Mac). So I pay for a 1 TB Dropbox account., trying to keep files on my iMac and MacBook...

    Dropbox Stopped Importing from iPhone

    For no reason I can ascertain, Dropbox on my Mac Mini has stopped importing photos and videos. Sometimes, if I reboot, it will work again for a while, but not always. Instead, what I end up doing is going upstairs to plug the phone into my MacBook Pro, which has no problem doing what it's...

    Dropbox nasty OS X behaviour, gain complete computer control

    This type of behaviour shouldn't be allowed by apple, they just don't care. I am really more and more convinced that big companies don't really care about our privacy and security. This is a serious issue, that has been documented for a while...

    Preview app Restore does not work with onedrive or dropbox

    Sort of an FYI but also a question in case there is a workaround. As the title suggests I "discovered" that the Preview app Restore does not work with onedrive or dropbox. If a file is modified in the Preview App and then downloaded from these services it loses the ability to recover previous...

    Alternative to EverNote for personal document storage

    I use(d) Evernote in two distinct ways. One was taking and reading notes. Fine, I'll use any of dozens of similar apps for that, no problem. The other is that I scanned tons of documents and tagged and titled them in Evernote. They were saved as PDF, and while most were receipts and bills that I...

    How to transition all in with Apple?

    I've made a decision to go all in with Apple and make their product line my primary for as much as possible. I've thought a bit about it but as I'm already using an iPad Air 2, MBR, Apple Watch and an iPhone 6s, I want to see how my experience is if I stay as much in the Apple ecosystem as...

    Resolved Dropbox won't sync folder called "Documents"

    Hello all, this should probably go on the dropbox forums, but they don't seem very active and the people here are very clever, so please bear with me. SUMMARY: Dropbox won't sync any folder called "Documents". If I create it on my local machine, it won't sync to dropbox. If I create it on...
