Hi Joe, I’m sure you know that in Sierra 10.12.5 the DropBox folder is equivalent to standard folders in Finder. I have been using it for 3 years for files I change daily. This includes general and financial records. I need these records saved on an iCloud server as I change them. Dropbox also gives me a revision history of these files. Should one of these files get damaged, I have a copy of the file before the damage available in DropBox. Not a day old file saved through a backup program. It is quick and transparent and to date I have not had a single problem with the process. To view these files on another Sierra or IOS device I place a “copy” in the Apple Icloud folder. Also a standard folder within Finder. However, Apple syncs changes on these other systems back to my MacBook Pro original files in my iCloud folder, which is not linked to my standard folders. I would not install Dropbox on other systems for obvious reasons. Also, with Dropbox, it’s a one way street. Synced out only, never synced in. But to be sure I’ll contact DropBox about this. Others my be following this discussion, so I’ll add DropBoxe's response. Also, I do use TimeMachine to backup to two USB drives and one SSD at the end of an active session. So, I guess I don’t understand the technical reason for your mistrust of the process? Would you share this with the community? Howie
