Hi
I've been stressing over the best way to share files between my iMac and MBP for a while now, occasionally using file sharing and other times using Dropbox. I'm a writer, using Scrivener, and would love to be able to work on the same project on either machine, without the impracticalities of dragging files between folders each time I make a change.
Dropbox is great, however the recent furore of their terms and conditions change has left me skeptical about cloud-based services, which is a shame as it syncs faultlessly with Scrivener and also provides ease of mind with a cloud back-up.
I'm also reluctant to enable file sharing and use the 'connect as' feature of sharing to access files stored on one mac from another because I'm not that confident by enabling these features I am completely safe.
I would be grateful of people's thoughts on this, specifically on security issues (seeing as iCloud isn't an option as it won't support Scrivener files).
Thanks
