RE: Dropbox Changes

[Simon Fogarty]

Yeah it’s odd,
Dunedin won that gigabit town comp a few years back and I’ve not yet seen a 
gigabit related speed

I get mixed results both at home and work

But still it’s not good enough for what I pay.

See, now I find that interesting. I can’t really complain about download 
speeds. I noticed comments on different lists stating how long the IOS 12.2  
and the latest Mac OS took to download and install. But honestly, it only took 
about 10 or 15 minutes on the iPhone to download and install. The Mac took 
about the same time. I used to get very slow uploads when using Dropbox, b but 
haven’t tried it for a couple of years now.

Hi all,
Thought I could ask this in the current thread as it has to do with
Drop Box.
Is there an App for Drop Box on the Mac or are you using the Web? I
have the Drop Box App on my iPhone, but couldn’t find one in the Mac
App Store?
Sorry for asking a silly question.

Hey ET,
iCloud works great under Windows.  I just like it b/c it's super
easy.  You store a file there, and you can access it on your Mac,
your phone--using Files, and for me, my PC.  I guess I just like
the interface better than either google or Dropbox.  But Ryan is
right, if you need to share the file link with others, it isn't a
good option.

Simon,

iCloud is basically just a folder.  You can organize it however you want.  So 
you could have a folder for books one for music, etc.

Re: PCloud Was Re: Dropbox Changes

Hi there,


Please navigate to the Settings and in there should be a checkbox for 
copying a link and if that is checked then it will be in the contextual 
menu.

Re: Dropbox Changes

['Shawn Krasniuk' via MacVisionaries]

I understand that. While things most certainly shouldn't be entirely free, I do 
say there should be more pricing plans. When you're on a fixed income and 
you're paying for other services, $10 a month is a pretty steap price. Not only 
that, but I certainly do not need a terabyte of storage. If they had a similar 
pricing structure like iCloud, I would consider paying for them. But 
unfortunately, that's not the case. This is why I'm trying to figure out this 
PCloud thing and while Jessica's suggestion is ok for others, I don't want the 
app on my phone. I work on my Mac most of the time. So I'm asking this again, 
what do I have to do to be able to share files? It's not showing up in the 
share menu.

Re: Dropbox Changes

[Petrus Tuerlings]

See, now I find that interesting. I can’t really complain about download 
speeds. I noticed comments on different lists stating how long the IOS 12.2  
and the latest Mac OS took to download and install. But honestly, it only took 
about 10 or 15 minutes on the iPhone to download and install. The Mac took 
about the same time. I used to get very slow uploads when using Dropbox, b but 
haven’t tried it for a couple of years now.

Re: Dropbox Changes

[Maurice Mines]

 Hello, a point of clarification here. The restriction on devices is 
for quote free accounts only. Those of us who have paid for dropbox are 
not affected in any way shape or form. So while this thread goes on, and 
on. Remember the state quote discussion about free services if you want 
free you get nothing. There is no such thing as a free lunch ever! If 
you want service, unfortunately you must pay for the service. I know I 
may sound harsh and nasty but that’s the answer I got dropbox. They 
will try to address the concerns about things such as blindness specific 
applications that link to their service. In the next release. But that 
fixable only be for paid customers. I think all the other services will 
adopt similar policies to dropbox. Unfortunately this is a capitalist 
system. I think I’ve said enough on this one. Please do not send me 
flaming emails they won’t be read they will just simply be deleted. 
For the record, I don’t work for nor do I have any financial 
relationship with dropbox other than what a normal customer would have.

Re: PCloud Was Re: Dropbox Changes

[Jessica Moss]

I think the fastest way to do this, is to have the app on your phone as well, 
then from there, you just select what you want, locate the share button next to 
the item you want to share, then select how you want to share it.

PCloud Was Re: Dropbox Changes

['Shawn Krasniuk' via MacVisionaries]

Hey guys. So I just installed PCloud on my Mac. I'm about ready to dump my 
Dropbox because of all the stupid things that they're doing. I'm just running 
into a big snag however. I just put a file in the PCloud Drive folder and I 
want to share a link to the file with someone. However, there's no option to do 
so. What do I have to do to make this app run properly? Thanks.

 Do not unlink any devices and you are safe. Dropbox is on 5 devices here.

Simon,

iCloud is basically just a folder.  You can organize it however you want.  So 
you could have a folder for books one for music, etc.
Best,
Donna

In iCloud can you set it to save different media types to different folders etc?

I would imagine that storage is good regardless of which platform since 
iCloud Drive uses shared folders,

Do not unlink any devices and you are safe. Dropbox is on 5 devices here. 
The limit is 3 but unless I unlink any of them its good.

Hello Donna.  Google Drive and Dropbox have easy ways to

I’m already linked up with three devices. I know one of them is my old windows 
machine that I’m not even sure if it will still boot up? I can’t think what the 
other device is,  unless it is my old iPhone 5s that I reset to factory 
settings and gave to my sister.  And there is the drop box app on my iPhone 8+. 
  Is there a way I can unlink devices from the web -site?

Okay, as there is nothing on the download page telling me when it is done.  I 
will run the installer later as the sun is out so I’m going to go do some 
gardening.  
Take care,

Re: Dropbox Changes

[Petrus Tuerlings]

Hi all,
Thought I could ask this in the current thread as it has to do with Drop Box. 
Is there an App for Drop Box on the Mac or are you using the Web? I have the 
Drop Box App on my iPhone, but couldn’t find one in the Mac App Store?
Sorry for asking a silly question.

Re: Dropbox Changes

['E.T.' via MacVisionaries]

   I would imagine that storage is good regardless of which platform 
since iCloud Drive uses shared folders,


   Do not unlink any devices and you are safe. Dropbox is on 5 devices 
here. The limit is 3 but unless I unlink any of them its good.

becoming a bit difficult as I’ve recently received warnings about number

storage facility you can share among many devices for copying

Re: Dropbox Changes

Maurice,
   After I enabled iCloud Drive on Mac and iDevices, I installed iCloud 
for Windows and though there were apparently some errors, when I 
accessed iCloud Drive from the start menu, I saw some shared folders. 
Then I went back to the start menu and right clicked iCloud Drive and 
used the 'Send to' option to place it in Local Drive for easy access.

Re: Dropbox Changes

['Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries]

Andrew,

I'd die without iCloud.  I use Word constantly for work, and I like it better 
on the PC than on the Mac.  I keep almost all my work files in iCloud, so I can 
access them from either computer.  It works flawlessly.  I have an iCloud icon 
on my PC desktop, and when I open it, it looks like any other Windows file 
directory.  The thing is, I have absolutely no memory of how I got it set up.  
Cheers,
Donna

Re: Dropbox Changes

['Andrew Lamanche' via MacVisionaries]

Donna,

Can you use iCloud storage on Windows side too?  I have both mac & windows 
machines & having used dropbox for many years Dropbox is now becoming a bit 
difficult as I’ve recently received warnings about number of devices connected 
and I don’t really want to pay for another storage sharing service when I 
already pay for iCloud. It’s so handy to have a storage facility you can share 
among many devices for copying transferring files & folders.

Re: Dropbox Changes

[Maurice Mines]

So I have a question how does one access iCloud and Windows? I can 
access it just fine on my phone, and on my Mac? But I’ve never been 
able to get it to work in Windows. Any thoughts?

Hey ET,

iCloud works great under Windows.  I just like it b/c it's super easy. 
 You store a file there, and you can access it on your Mac, your 
phone--using Files, and for me, my PC.  I guess I just like the 
interface better than either google or Dropbox.  But Ryan is right, if 
you need to share the file link with others, it isn't a good option.

Re: Dropbox Changes

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

It kind of depends on the file how easy it is to share in iCloud.  
Specifically, you are correct in that right-clicking to share any file is not 
supported in iCloud Drive, but if you're using Pages, Keynote, Numbers, Notes 
or a number of other Apple and third party services, these can be shared from 
within the documents themselves.  No, not as slick as Google Drive or DropBox, 
but doable.  For Google Drive, it's best to use something like their Backup & 
Sync app so that it creates a Finder item that you can use just like the Finder 
version of DropBox.

it isn't a good option.

Re: Dropbox Changes

['Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries]

I've had it set up for so long, I couldn't begin to tell you.  But I don't 
remember having any problems getting it set up.  I have an iCloud icon on my 
desk top, and when I open it, it behaves like any other File Explorer directory.
Cheers,
Donna

Re: Dropbox Changes

[Pete De Vasto]

Donna,

How did you get iCloud to work under Windows so access could be easy? I tried 
installing iCloud Drive, but I could never get all the way through the setup 
process. Once done, does iCloud Drive show up as an item when you’er in File 
Explorer?

Thanks,
Pete

Re: Dropbox Changes

Hi Donna,
   That is how I use Dropbox. I also keep my shopping list there and 
bring it up at the store.


   But I still run Windows as well. I suppose iCloud Drive will not 
play there? Still, I should set it up and see why you like it so much, 
huh. :)

Re: Dropbox Changes

[Ryan Mann]

Hello Donna.  Google Drive and Dropbox have easy ways to share links to files.  
In Dropbox, you right-click on the file, hit the Applications key/ Shift F10 in 
Windows and probably Vo Shift M on the Mac.  After you bring up the context 
menu, there is an option to copy link.  I didn’t remember this being available 
with iCloud drive.  Is it?

Re: has anyone gotten Growl to work for announcing Dropbox changes

[Steve Holmes]

I've never done anything with Growl since I began using a Mac last spring.  
With the improved notification center in Mountain Lion, I don't see any value 
in it anymore.  Maybe I'm missing something but what notifications I've seen, 
all works fine with base stuff.

Not sure if this helps your situation or not.
