This is similar to [URL='https://help.dropbox.com/sync/download-entire-folders']downloading your files and folders[/URL], except it also keeps them in Dropbox, so they’re saved offline on your device as well as online on dropbox.com. [SIZE=4]When you enable offline access, you can open files in Dropbox or view and edit files in applications on your device, without being connected to the internet. Does anyone know if this makes the Mac [/SIZE]sluggish[SIZE=4] [/SIZE]because[SIZE=4] there is more stored locally? [/SIZE] Also, DropBox is offering an Upgrade called File Provider. Does anyone know if this is good or bad for Mac users? What I have works well, I store everything except photos on DB rather than iCloud because I have enough free DB space because of participating in early testing and Cloud is costly. Photos are stored on Amazon Photos. However not upgrading to the newest system is usually deemed unwise in the computer world. I always have the latest OS for Mac and iPhone. [/QUOTE]
