Dropbox StaffHi Noal, I hope you're doing well!
So, just to make sure we're on the same page here, what you'd like to have is the ability to access the content of your Dropbox account locally on the drive itself, without having to download the app, right?
If I didn't understand that correctly, feel free to clarify for me. Can I ask how that would be different than accessing your Dropbox account online, from the web and downloading the content you need that way?
In any case your feedback regarding this has been very valuable and I will endeavor to make sure your voice is heard.
If you need anything else, let me know!
hi there ,
thanks for reading
hmm if you dont know the mentioned programs, think about it that way,
i have a drive,thats called Gdrive,(same for Pcloud) i can handle that like a typical drive (ssd,m.2,hdd), meaning i can use whichever app, like double commander, and just run thru my files and copy or edit right from there, and upload content in the right folders
lets say i have for a customer a folder data/HisLinuxRouter/V9.2, and i have hundreds of such folder,for each customer personal made firewall linux router.
and i wanne change one file, i can do that with double commander right away, if i have it on my Pcloud drive, but if i had it on dropbox,i would need to prepare, and check which customer it is, and sync that one folder, then change it, and place it back to his folder, thats quite a bit work. and one misstake would mean i would have to redo all,and check where i missplaced his file.. never happend so far, and i usually care too much to let this happen.
its basically just handling, and preparation , but you cannot sync the whole database, such large drives dont exist,as far as i know,and any laptop i use, has at best 8 tb m.2, meaning i would need to prep before customers happen,but from time to time,i get a info to change XY at company Z and then i need that data asap.
right now, iam still trying to figure out what method would work best, and asking for such a tool,cant be wrong.
but until i have a solution, i just prep the most used things, and migrate towards Dropbox.
hope that was kinda easy to understand.. i can only use examples i know,and used before,sorry
best regards Noal
thanks,
i didn't know that.
maybe they will think about it, or clearly refuse, where i see no point in.
but whichever they chose, i keep dropbox as endless,and pcloud as 60tb lifetime, those two work well together with multcloud, via syncing.
but thanks for the info zdravko (sorry,cant type it in russian,with my kb layout)
if thats also the official statement from dropbox,i can close it,
