Hello,
I'm a graphic designer with over 15 years of workload. This obviously equates to extreme files sizes. I was disappointed to learn Dropbox don't offer a package for single users over 3TB....
Hi jackiesterna,
just my 2 cents in this now …
What I have taken to doing these days is use a second offline backup service to keep a copy of all my Dropbox files (and other folders of course) and manage the smaller Dropbox space to keep only what is needed at the time there.
It is pain at times, but we are all here because Dropbox makes some things we need in a file sharing service easy to use, and sadly the few alternatives (Google Drive, iCloud, and OneDrive are just not as good as Dropbox in file management and sharing.)
My bandwidth is not capped, so if my manual rearrangement means moving files in and out of Dropbox on a regular basis, so be it. And I believe they keep deleted files for some time, so you sort of get extra space anyway (just not much).
If you could see my drive that is backed up now, right next to my Dropbox folder is a folder called Dropbox-removed, and those two folders are what the regular offline backup system takes. There are lots of alternatives for general backup to use, some even with physical disk services that will FedEx you a copy of files if needed (not free of course). (I’m using Carbonite as there is no limit to the storage I can put there and while not as fast as Dropbox nor as convenient to use, it serves the extra space issue fairly well if I do the management.). Just sad that we have to jump through these hoops. But I finally realized, I don’t need all
And I’ll add, these days I’m not even sure I would buy extra space anymore. DB charges way too much IMHO for the small bits one can get now. Budget is a concern for me as well, and unlimited backup keeps me safe for less money.
end of 2 cents.
