Dropbox vs. iCloud
|
DropBox is upgrading my plan (not my choice) and giving me 200tb of space and charging me $130 a year (up from $100 a year). that is my only option.
I only have about 105gb of data on dropbox and less than 50gb of data on iCloud so I am going to up my iCloud storage to 200GB for $3.00 a month and move my data from Dropbox to iCloud. Does anyone know of any reason why I shouldn¡¯t do this? Thanks. Harry |

I¡¯ve used iCloud as my primary web backup for years, it¡¯s always worked perfectly. I use just enough on on Dropbox for important data files that it¡¯s free. John On Mar 3, 2020, at 7:47 PM, Harry Jacobson-Beyer <hejb44@...> wrote: |

Do you pay for the dropbox 2TB or do you just use their free 2gb option? On Mar 3, 2020, at 10:32 PM, Lee Larson via Groups.Io <leelarson@...> wrote: |

Did you mean 200 terabytes (tb)? Or gigabytes?

I now pay for the iCloud 200 GB space increase because it¡¯s cheaper than DropBox and easier to get at from an iPad. I actually still use both for a couple of reasons. I keep current projects on DropBox periodically backed up to iCloud with a Keyboard Maestro script. This way the current working version of a project and a backup are both accessible from anywhere I happen to be. Also, DropBox works from Linux and iCloud doesn¡¯t. With my ongoing projects I have backups on iCloud and on my NAS at home because I don¡¯t really trust any of the online places. L^2 PS/ My daughter uses DropBox and pays for lots of storage.

I meant terabytes.
