Hi I am trying to sort out cloud storage for my photos. They are on Apple Photos on a Mac running Sierra 10.12.6. I already have an external harddrive on which they are regularly backed up. What I want to do is copy all of my photos and videos and have them on a cloud. I want to export them in albums/ year groupings and I don't want the "library" to transfer to dropbox as I know that doesnt work and can lead to photo loss. I want to keep all of the original Photos library on my desktop. What Ive been doing is creating albums in Photos, selecting then dragging and dropping into folders I have created in Dropbox in my finder on my Mac. Does this just copy them or am I moving the original from the Photos library to the Dropbox? I don't like the way ICloud works so I'm trying to find a solution for that unlikely but possible total failure of local harddrive and local backup. I also want the possibility to delete things locally but still have a backup if I've messed up. Thanks for any insights KateSolved23KViews0likes9Comments
Is there a limit to the size of a file that I can upload?
Is there a maximum file size that we can upload? me and my friends record videos, for youtube, they upload their footage and I download it to edit it, I choose Dropbox because it didn't seem like there was a file size upload limit unlike other file sharing sites. but my friend ran into a problem where the file wouldn't upload because it was too big....Solved22KViews0likes3Comments

I have an issue with my videos' quality when on the website. Can you shed some light?
I upload videos from my iphone 6 plus. When I view them on my phone with the Dropbox app, they are far less sharp than the original. When I view them from the Dropbox website, they are better, but still not quite as good as the original. Is there some video setting I need to change? As far as I know the original files (full resolution) are what is uploaded, so the quality should be the same.Solved15KViews2likes6Comments

Using Dropbox for wedding
I am currently organizing my wedding. One of the ideas that I have is providing guests with a QR code that direct them to my dropbox. The intent is for them to take pictures on the big day and upload them to the file so that after the wedding I can transfer the pics to shutterfly to make a book. When I asked a friend to try the process she was able to get to the file and was able to look at the pics that I have in there. She however was not able to load any of her own into the account and got the notification " this folder is view only". Is there any way that I can change the settings so that everbody that access the QR code can upload pics?Solved8.5KViews0likes4Comments
