Thanks Tim, This will be a juggling performance I reckon. Its an art to take advantage of the technology and find a reasonable balance. From E.T.'s Keyboard... ancient.ali...@icloud.com Many believe that we have been visited in the past. What if it were true? On 6/12/2016 8:44 AM, Tim

Hi, For the most part, off-line access is only available for those items synced both to your local device and the Cloud. If you don't have access to the Internet, then you would not have access to those items only stored in the Cloud. This is slightly different in a ChromeBook or ChromeBox,

Hi Tim, This might be a new thread but would like you to expand on this offline access. If you lose internet for any length of time and you need to access data in the cloud that is not on your local storage, what then? From E.T.'s Keyboard... ancient.ali...@icloud.com Many believe that

This is a very interesting discussion. I like the cloud for some things such as syncing calendars with my husband, wherever either of us happens to be, has avoided many an unfortunate clash of appointments. However, we’re lucky and live in an area with good fast internet access. I run a French

I don’t see any of these things as being a problem because all these concerns have already been addressed. If your app goes poof you’ll most likely still have your files. In the case of music software it’s in the software publisher’s best interest to provide the ability to read and write in

I was going to say the same thing, but my fingers were to tired for all that, so I'll just say I agree. Here is the downside scenario. Say somebody puts out a nice app such as an audio cleaner. I rent the app and use it to clean all my cassette and LP record transfers to remove hiss and pops.

Long read but a decent one. I l;ike the chgopice of the word "dependency". If I misunderstand its meaning, I will find out. (smiles) I am not comfortable with absolute reliance on outside storage for starters. The concept makes sense. But if say there is an outage, will that break
