I pay Dropbox for extra storage space, and keep everything of value to
me in the Dropbox folder. This includes all my Legacy data files, and
their backups (as I have space to spare, currently using 92.6GB of the
1.02TB allocated to me).

I have 3 different files that I put on a USB drive because I download (8.0
bought) the program on a faster computer. I can get them into the program but
they don’t stay. The program finds them on the USB but it doesn’t save them to

Pat - I used a program 'FreeFileSync' (http://www.freefilesync.org/) to

I can't say how Dropbox works, but with OneDrive, you don't need to have the
internet on to be able to access the files in your OneDrive folder - they won't
update the online folder and in turn, other devices, until you access the
internet. I use OneDrive but don't keep it running 24/7.
