- Cheap hubs have small, unreliable "pipes" for the transfer of
data. If those pipes are attached to a large flash drive, you
are begging
for file corruption. That is what happened to me, and to my MLO
files. He
walked me through purchasing what I should have had in the first place.
MLO is now back to its flawless self.
- He reminded me that I want NO PART of OneDrive or Google Drive,
because the sync process takes too long and leaves your files open to
corruption. Stick to those smaller flash drives.
