They keep deleted files around for at least 30 days. L^2 PS/ I use Dropbox and iCloud folders on my machines and work directly from those folders. They are constantly being synced in the background to three Macs, and the Dropbox stuff is also being synced to a Linux box. I’ve noticed no problems. A few years ago, iCloud was somewhat unstable, but over the last couple of years it has become very reliable. Dropbox is still a little faster to sync. I’ve kind of moved all my working documents over to iCloud so I can work on them anywhere. I chose to use iCloud instead of Dropbox for my current work because I’m paying for extra space on iCloud and not on Dropbox. --- Lee Larson [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> The dinosaurs became extinct because they didn't have a space program.
