No permite que se actualice dropbox por la existencia de archivos temprarios de indesign. Los pase a otro carpeta donde no se sincronizan pero toma mucha memoria y no puedo trabajar. Es necesario si o si usar cloud? Muchas gracias

    Thanks for your reply. I'll try working outside of Dropbox, as you suggested. Many thanks!

    First question: Are your Dropbox sync preferences set to this option:

     

    If not, then you must use this option.

    That doesn’t make much sense, sorry. Regardless, don’t move InDesign temp files anywhere (I assume you’re referring to .idlk files), they must be wherever they are.

    No, you don’t have to use any cloud services if you don’t want to and/or don’t have to.

    Whether you use the cloud or not is up to you. It’s not a requirement. Can you simply save locally and back up to dropbox manually a few times per day.

    I have dropbox but don’t use it for InDesign. I’ve had no trouble with OneDrive or Google Drive updating properly.
