My failure with Drop Box was probably user error but I'm pretty good with technology and for some reason I had some problems, couldn't read files. files not uploaded quickly or correctly a couple of times and sorry didn't mean this thread to be a knock on Drop Box, just wanted to say hoe happy I was with Google Drive and maybe the thread should be more about how great ALL the cloud services are..

I am sure most of the cloud services are good. I started loading ALL of my files onto dropbox last Saturday, it is still going, about 100 megs. I can't believe I did not do this sooner. I open a file at the office, edit it, when I go home I can pull up the updated file on that computer.
I think this is truly how everybody will operate soon, once we get past the idea that we have to have the files on our computer.
The big plus is I think it would be very hard to lose the files. I am assuming that drop box (and most services) have their own backup in case something goes wrong at their end. Probably not a big deal to them if they lose my stuff, but I bet there are some pretty important clients of drop box who would be very upset if DB did not have some sort of back up system for their stuff.D.

The videos we watch are not 100% gold, but if we find a gold nugget, the time spent viewing has a value.
We can please some of the people some of the time, but we can't please all the people all of the time..... but I will keep trying.

JFYI files you place in your DropBox folder tree are local files. The DropBox application has simply established a hook into the Windows OS which informs the DropBox application of changes in any file(s) in that folder(s) so they can be uploaded to the DropBox server and subsequently download to any other computers on that account.
Simple and reliable - at least it should be.
