I had the same experience with dropbox. I first started to balk at them when the agent kept sucking more and more memory as updates came, then everything you describe. I ultimately just went all-in with icloud. The pricing is (now) better than dropbox, but I'm also all-in on the Apple ecosystem.

I would be all in on iCloud for sync if it had selective sync. What do you do for that?

that’s not a legal or enforceable license restriction.

Not my code, not my repo.

i assumed not. just pointing out a foible of the code’s author. it factored into my decision not to use it.

I'm not at all a techie - but I have a question. I'm switching from a Windows + Apple world to just Apple. So I got scared when I read that using Dropbox can mess up your photos when using Apple's "Photos" program which I have always avoided. https://www.fatcatsoftware.com/comments/dont_store_your_phot... Anyway, I love Selective Sync - esp for photos. So there is not a solution to the iCloud problem?
