• 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.

• Ask HN: Best modern file transfer/synchronization protocol?

  Seconding rsync and syncthing. The server could expose an smb or nfs share, the client could mount it, and then sync to that mount. Rsync over ssh also works, if you do not want to run smb/nfs. This is also a cool tool https://rclone.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Which synchronization tool are you using together with the pCloud Crypto Folder?

  Rclone provides a special pCloud config option, which makes the setup straight forward. Rclone can encrypt the data it uploads with its own encryption but not with the pCloud encryption.
