![]() So yeah, Dropbox might be pricey but through all the years it really worked very well for me. Assuming you have set your Dropbox directory as /Dropbox : Create a folder. ICloud: some strange folder nested hundred levels deep. Follow the Wiki instructions to install EncFS. you also can't copy out google files (writer, spreadsheet, etc). If not running it is not mounted and none of your files are here. MySQL Workbench will often fail to save and often destroy files. Because it is not an apple FS a lot of apple apps will complain. So every application that tries to open a file on google drive just fails. Google drive (I used that at work): on MacOS is it is utter crap as it is not a folder but a mounted thing. Still better than Google Drive as it is a standard folder. if the file name is bad (eg whitespace at the end) it will just stop syncing anything. This directory will hold the important files and database related to paper-git. The first time you use paper-git, it will create a var directory in the current working directory. You can run paper-git -help in the console to print out the help text. ![]() Highlighting the text and pressing Ctrl+I on Windows and Linux or Command+I on Mac also. If this is your first time, you will have to authorize usage of your dropbox account. ![]() It also has very strange file name restrictions. Adding one asterisk or one underscore to either side of a word, sentence or paragraph will italicize it. It sometimes tries to sync some files from teams and just never finishes. OneDrive (I use it at work): if one file fails, all files stop syncing. TBH I am still using Dropbox every day, getting around the device limit by sharing stuff with multiple free accounts. Before Dropbox I was using unison and tried every other sync product, but nothing came close. This is really a shame too: Dropbox is just the gold standard for sync. That would of course have introduced a market cap, but if 1% of everyone had ended up on a reasonably priced personal plan it would have been a roomy cap.Īs it was, Dropbox has grown into yet-another ms-office-in-the-sky and there is no way they will make it against their competitors who can burn the cash, and who are slowly catching up on sync technology. Seems to me that the correct strategy for Dropbox would have been to be super focused on the core product and on not hiring in too many people/taking in too much capital. Similar experience here: the paid options are way too expensive for private use, when none of the new features has any value to you.
