Disaster: Dropbox removing external disk support for Mac users :(
In case anyone's unaware... if you're a Mac user storing your Dropbox on an external drive, you'll shortly lose that ability. https://talk.tidbits.com/t/dropbox-drops-support-for-storing-files-on...
TheMainOne I'm also on sync.com. A few quirks and I think by biggest issue might be the lack of opening when you have a file online. Previously with Dropbox I could double click the file and it would download and open. I don't seem to be able to do that with sync.com but maybe I need to add some integration in, not sure.
Yes it's a bit slower but overall I'm pretty happy with it. I have 8 people on it so far with 1 more to go but everyone seems happy with it. Just have my large projects to move yet and that's taking some time but I have time. My subscription doesn't end until November so it'll all be moved by then.
That's good to hear. We are integrating more and more of our staff to Sync.com.
The price is really favorable. And even so, I'd pay a couple of dollars more if they could increase the speed. But it might be a combination of things including the processing needed to keep everything private. So all in all, I'm very happy. Like you, we have the time and don't need instant access to everything.
I'm actually happy for the amount of time that I have spent trying to find a solution. If not for this debacle, I would still be with dropbox. And I would still be experiencing the lack of privacy and very high prices.
I'm not sure about the issue you have regarding double clicking. I don't use it that way so I haven't tried it. Most of our stuff is stored in the vault. Otherwise it would automatically sync and take up everybody's space on at least some hard drives. Not everybody has a lot. So the vault works really good.
It took us a little bit of time to get used to the whole process. But we expected that.
Sync.com has been very reliable so far. Even when my connection drops which it does once in a while, it still seems to be very stable and solid.
I have uninstalled dropbox now. I only use my free account through the web. And they don't really use that any longer. I'll probably just delete it before long.
I'm really glad to hear someone else is finding success with this as well.
We are the same in adjusting to new processes. Getting my team to ensure all links are in the project folder is essential. We'll adjust eventually and overall I'm pretty pleased with it all. There are some niggles but it's to be expected. They don't have the same money as Dropbox but hopefully they will grow but continue with their ethics and customers security in mind. Also that they stick to what they offer and not add stupid new features all the time.
The heavy lifting for us though is yet to come. The biggest folders account for nearly 13TB so that's gonna take a while but I have a plan. So far I've managed to move 1.5TB of our day to day data.
I was looking at the vault but right now it's not a good fit. I am not going to ever end up relying 100% totally on archival storage on a cloud server. I have my IT guy putting together a new NAS that will eventually hold all my archive files and also keep localised copies of all the files on cloud.
Synology boxes work well for local storage which remains backed up in the cloud
