Dropbox?

[Danny133]

Anybody use dropbox?

Ive just uploaded 91MB of photos to it on my Mac but it only shows 86MB on my iphone?

Why is this?

They are high res photos and i want the full file not a downsized version.

All my options are set to keep original sizes so im stumped!?

Are you SURE you have't missed anything?

Didn't realise that Apple had now purchased Dropbox! Thought this would have got as much coverage as the Instagram buyout tbh.

FFS.

My suggestion, go through a few random files checking file sizes against eachother.

Also, has everything synced? Not waiting to sync or anything? Dropbox is amazing TBH

I find in sync better than dropbox personally. For documents at least. I might give dropbox another go though.

I've introduced it at work because I'm fed up of mailing people drawings, or people asking what the latest rev of a drawing is.

Occasionally, the techno-tarded amongst us still save things onto their machine and then email me it... but I guess you can't beat 'em all.

Other than the idiots, and having to write a very clear set of instructions on how to correctly create, modify, revise and label documents it's SUPERB.

No matter how hard you try dropbox always adds compression.

What aload of s**t!

 

[Rob]

And it's s**t because????

I upload 91MB of photos and it gives me 86MB out the other end despite telling me it wont downgrade them and it will give me the original version.

 

[Tom]

Use insync then

 

[Rob]

What happens if you copy that 86MB back to a computer?

Is it not a winzip/rar type compression that de-compresses as you download?

I thought they had tried for 800 mil, but it got turned down.?
