![]() I will repeat my questions above and bold it for your attention: ![]() ![]() I'm on your side your response is both dismissive and unhelpful. I am with you.they either fix this or its a deal breaker for me as well. I also want all my data available on my hard drive for my immediant access and protection, but i dont want each file in 6 different places and when we change a file, which file in what place did we actually change today, was it the same actual file as yesterday ? Last week ? I also am in a licensed profession and i can NOT just have my files online, they MUST RESIDE ON MY HARD DRIVE, just in case of an attack i need to be able to "pull the plug". You learn alot when you use a program for 10+ years, huh ? I doubt the higher level technician even has the knowledge i do because their fix will just make the problem worse or cost me a ton of time fixing as my files change on a daily/weekly/monthly/yearly basis. Same problem with Windows so do NOT let Dropbox tell you it is an Apple problem !!! I have been with Dropbox for 10+ years also and now my files & folders have been duplicated (each file 2x) on the web and an additional 4x on my computer and technical support has just been emailing me things to do that they don't understand themselves and i already know. It is a shame that Dropbox has taken this one-size-fits-all approach and has broken core functionality in furtherance of a feature that I have no intention of ever using. To be clear, this is 1,000% a breaking change for me, and if I cannot make Dropbox satisfy my needs, I will be terminating my service and moving all of my files elsewhere. If one of the base folders on Dropbox is included in Selective Sync on my Mac, and if I mark that folder as "make available offline," will that designation be enforced for all files and folders? Or will this setting have to be managed constantly - e.g., I might find that newly created files were marked as "on-demand" by default and need to be updated? However, I can't seem to find any indication of how well that marking process works. I understand that with the new Dropbox, "individual files and folders" can be marked as "make available offline," and will therefore be stored locally. Also, I refuse to accept the possibility of essential files being unavailable because my device is offline or has low bandwidth. ![]() I have many workflows that depend on local file storage and will either be unacceptably postponed by on-demand access or will simply break. I'm going to make this clear: I expect all of my synced files to be stored on all of my devices at all times. However, I'm deeply troubled by the implication that on-demand cloud storage is the "new normal" for these files, and that offline storage seems to be a less preferable option. I've done a bit of research and I understand the reason for the change. Today, I was greeted with a demand from my Dropbox client to move all of my Dropbox synced folders from ~/Dropbox to ~/Library/CloudStorage. I've been a Dropbox user for about 10 years. ![]()
