• I'm over my device limit and want to install Dropbox on a new Mac so I can download my files to a thumb drive. The Install won't complete unless I upgrade my account. How can I copy my online Dropbox to my thumb drive?

  Also, since you're on a mac, you can use https://maestral.app/ which bypasses the limit or, if you're comfortable with the command line, you can use https://rclone.org/. Source: 12 months ago

• Dropbox axes 16%

  Over time I've switched from Dropbox to Google Drive to iCloud as my primary way of storing files I want backed up and/or able to be shared. Replacing the Dropbox client with Maestral https://maestral.app meant a much happier system with a lighter application running. Also no prompts for the SD card to be uploaded.

• Show HN: Simple tool built for my manager is now becoming its own startup

  Not the person you’re replying to but CleanShotX [0] is my favorite tool for this. Yes macOS has improved their screenshot annotation tools but they suck compared to CleanShotX. I take way more screenshots now to covey information and it’s invaluable to quickly explain a UI. I make guides for work or my clients with it all the time.

• Ask HN: Has anyone else found themselves using more screenshots?

  Absolutely - Especially because Screenshot software has come a _long_ way CleanShotX[1] is one of - if not _the_ best - piece of software I've ever payed for. It does one thing, and does it extremely well. 1. https://cleanshot.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
