and DropBox is ????

and DropBox is ????

A file storage and sharing service.

And no. No I don't use it.

No. iCloud.

Not really. I have had files sent to me where I can download them, but I have never uploaded anything.

No.

Yes.

No

Yes, also Google drive.

Ye, its how photos get from my phone to my PC

Yes, for gaming and work.

Yup

Since I don't know what one is, I'll say "no"

All the time but only for work

Yes everyday

Schwere Kompanie rules updates are delivered through drop box and I use it for Combat Mission games

yes, best app on my phone & kindle

I have it at work but I have never had to use it. I don't have it at home and see no need for it.

Yes about 50% of the time when using non-Goggle works.

Duane

Nope.

Never heard of it….

I find it a pain to work with and can never be sure that my files have been uploaded.

yes.

Not for my own use.

Yes

Yes. Long time user.

Yes, grudgingly.

No no file storage system is safe If a person can hack a personal computer then a system with multiple users could be child's play.

Personally I use portable storage devices to store information that I unplug when not in use. I don't know if it is any safer but I think it is

Not without a gun to my head.

Wetransfer.com is my weapon of choice.

Yes for gaming.

All the time, for everything I personally do really. It's INCREDIBLY simple and works every time. I create a file on my computer, save it (it's in dropbox), by the time I walk downstairs to the laser it's been synced to the computer attached to the laser, then run the file on the laser.

That being said, I have never used a feature on a site like Wargames Vault that integrates with it.

Never trust the cloud!

Yes, mainly for gaming stuff. But I would never put anything in it that had really important info, like tax documents.

Yup. Subscribed too.

Once or twice a week, my document folder and image folder gets backed up.

Once every couple months, it also gets backed up to Google drive.

My computer is my job, data backup is vital.

No.

I use google drive and MS OneDrive for backups and sharing, although I have occasionally accessed files shared via Dropbox.

All the static files on my blog are shared via Google.

I spent ages helping my wife with iCloud synch options. Urgh.

you don't have to "trust the cloud" but you can certainly use it for the convenience for multiple redundancies of your hobby.

Yes

But only occasionally. I use OneDrive a lot more.

Yup

Doug

I use it but it but there are things I don't like about it. For example, somehow it is the default to upload camera pics automatically. I didn't do that myself and yet it was done.

Yes

I use Dropbox, and I use it to share my battle reports here.
