#DROPBOX FREE DEVICE LIMIT MAC OS#
MacOS Finder still prevents use of the colon in filenames (the original Mac OS used colons instead of slashes to represent folders) and all of these characters have special meaning on the command line which can complicate working with files that include them. Since it also syncs with Windows, OneDrive’s list of invalid characters matches Windows’s list of invalid characters: It’s true that OneDrive does not support the vertical bar (pipe) in filenames. I also found a post about OneDrive web filename sorting from February 2019 that had to do with accented characters, which implies that such characters are allowed on OneDrive. Searching online, I found references to such problems from two or more years ago but they were described as bugs and it appeared they were corrected. If it’s not working for you, I would report the problem, they may be able to correct it. I think OneDrive is supposed to support diacritics (accents on characters) in file names. Dropbox’s free Basic accounts exist only as a marketing tool to encourage users to upgrade to a paid plan, and when you’re getting something for nothing, it’s not unreasonable for a company to want to reduce the amount of that something eventually. But it’s hard to complain too much about a free service being burdened by additional limits. What’s disappointing about this change is that Dropbox has historically provided the best combination of file syncing between your devices and collaborative file sharing with other people. Microsoft’s OneDrive gives you 5 GB for free, and if you’re paying for Office 365, you get 1 TB of space. Google Drive provides 15 GB for free, although that’s shared with Gmail and Google Photos. Apple’s iCloud Drive offers 5 GB of storage for free, although that tends to be eaten up quickly by iOS backups, iCloud Photos, and iCloud Mail. The other alternative is to switch to a different file syncing service. Those who want to sync between a desktop Mac, laptop Mac, iPhone, and iPad will now be forced to do this linking/unlinking dance-or will be as soon as they’re forced to unlink one of those devices for some reason. If you don’t wish to upgrade, you can instead link and unlink devices to stay within the three-device limit. With this change, Dropbox is clearly trying to push more Basic users to the Plus plan, which costs $9.99 per month or $99 per year. Happily, if you have more than three devices linked to your Dropbox Basic account currently, they’ll remain linked, but you won’t be able to add any more. In a support article, Dropbox says that paid Plus, Professional, and Business users can still connect to their Dropbox accounts from as many devices as they like, but as of March 2019, free Basic account users may use only three devices at once. The mobile technology site Liliputing has discovered that Dropbox is now limiting free accounts to just three devices. #1625: Apple's "Far Out" event, the future of FileMaker, free NMUG membership, Quick Note and tags in Notes, Plex suffers data breach.#1626: AirTag replacement battery gotcha, Kindle Kids software flaws, iOS 12.5.6 security fix.
