I have a great Dropbox tip that I learned the hard way. I tried to make a simple move of a few shared folders from one level to another… my mistake was that I did it on my LOCAL machine as opposed to going through the WEB interface. These folders were the top level share folders. So when I moved them out of my local Dropbox directory on my local machine, the master Dropbox web account began restoring them over the web… thinking that the local copies had disappeared. 7,455 files and 3 hours later, everything had synched back up. Yikes.
Here is the tip
If you want to make any changes to a top-level folder that YOU have shared… , make the move of the folder in the web interface and you’ll be fine. The local system will auto update across all shared accounts.
We have worked with Blue Gurus for almost 10 years now. He and his team are incredible to work with.
Among other things they have helped us get a blog team together so that we are blogging regularly and it is a nice variety of viewpoints in the blog posts. All of us have stellar LinkedIn profiles thanks to Jason. There are many many other things they've helped us with over the years… too many to mention in one quote. They're so knowledgeable and so helpful and are a positive energetic addition to any project. I would highly recommend Jason and his team!!!!
