Dropbox INSISTS!! on downloading files
I run my computers via both fibre-based internet as well as via limited cellular network. The problem always has been -- even though 'on-line only' is selected -- dropbox always downloads.
Primarily if a file has been uploaded on another computer and downloads consistently on my other computer -- even though 'on-line only' is selected.
My files are typically 300Mb - 3gb so it is most troublesome.
I use dropbox both as a 3tb backup of my data as well as sharing with a couple of people certain folders. Regardless, if a new file has been uploaded it still downloads onto another computer using my data up. So have had to uninstall Dropbox.
Also, I run Carbon copy ... of which only changes/adds files that are new. But again ... Dropbox insists on uploading all files. Very painful.
Is there something I am missing.
