Hello Gilly, Another common use for it is to sync between programs that don’t have access to iCloud. I’ve just bought my partner the Scrivener app for iOS (he’s used it on the Mac for years) and it’s really only useful for him because it syncs projects between the two via Dropbox.
But I wan’t aware that Dropbox accounts expire, so I would, as Graham suggests, check that the email is genuine. Delete that message and just go directly to https://www.dropbox.com <https://www.dropbox.com/> Cheers, Stephen One becomes old when dreams become regrets - Unknown > On 24 Aug 2016, at 10:17, Gillian Snoxall <[email protected]> wrote: > > Morning Graham! > > Thank you for your reply.
