Re: [LegacyUG] Cloud Storage

Whew! I was wondering too, but that makes sense since it's for XP and Microsoft hasn't been supporting it for a few years either. The rest of Dropbox is still there for other platforms. On Sun, May 22, 2016, 1:03 PM Norris Taylor wrote: > That's for users with Windows

Hi All, I use dropbox to store/share my tree without a problem. If the internet is down you still have the latest synced version of your tree and media on all the machines connected to it. It only requires a bit of common sense knowing what files may have changed since the last sync. As a
