Can effect download speed too in some cases, but more likely to effect
whoever is downloading from you. It’s an allowance of so much data going up
or down, after that point they slow things down. As a free user you already
have to deal with bandwidth restrictions because of the limits they put on
free users, well ones who sign into their accounts and then download that is
*lol*.

What exactly is bandwith? I think it has something to do with upload speed,
but not sure. If I got a plan with SS, then I could figure out what is the
best.

In the pro plan it says unlimited, I have 1.4 T in mine at this point. That
will only be increasing. They also have a link about a drop box too, but I
don’t know anything about that. I don’t think it’s anything like the dropbox
the group folder is in.

Here's a question. If I bought a plan with SS, how much space would I get?

I looked into DB back before I ever purchased a subscription for SS, but it
seemed like they were more focused on the big players such as corporations.
There prices when I looked were outrageous. I may have been looking in the
wrong area or they may have introduced new price plans I do not know, but
when I did decide to purchase a plan I went with SS because of the wizard and
because I had heard many positive things about it. I did not give much
consideration to DB because of the thought that I still had to keep a file on
the computer and that the price was too high for what I needed. If I ever
grow unhappy with SS then I may reconsider, but for now ss is doing the job
that I need it to and I do not want to transfer all the files that I
currently have up there somewhere else at this point in time.

Also with Mac you can choose to save to dropbox,Sort of like in the windows
context menu where it says send to dropbox. So I don’t think you have to
retain the file on your machine itself anymore. Of course if you throw a
file in the trash that you see in DB it is deleting that file. So in that
way it now works like SS. I did a test document and just saved it directly
to DB, so therefore it didn’t keep a copy on the computer because I did
direct save. So if I want a copy it would be like an outside file of having
to copy and paste then.

So that is a game changer as far as I’m concerned, because when DB is
uploading by itself it’s a lot faster than Sendspace. It also crosses all
platforms, Mac Windows and Linux where it’s quite accessible once found and
installed, whereas Sendspace wizard is useless in Linux, they don’t update
it, and if you even do get it compiled right, it’s not accessible with Orca.

So now part of my little brain is thinking of exploring DB as a viable
storage option verses SS. Just as SS really becomes accessible with it’s
wizard, but still, I am considering it seriously. Will have to explore their
terms with a paid DB account, I don’t think it’s much different financially.

I’m not sure you have to retain the copy on your computer anymore Josh, I
haven’t tested the theory, but I think it may actually retain on their
servers now. Thats why when a larger file goes into DB it will show almost
instantly, but in the menu extras on the mac it will show an upload progress
for DB. So I will test the theory, but I think it actually is stuff on there
servers like SS does now.

I guess what I like about SS is I do not have to keep a copy of the document
on my computer. I use Drop Box, but usually just to get documents from the
iPhone to the computer and vice versa with relative ease. I purchased a
tablet a while back to get use to the Android platform and when I purchased
it I got 50GB of free space on Dropbox so that was nice.

I prefer dropbox myself. It's fast, it's easy, and I use the NVDA add-on with
it too so it makes it a lot easier. Speaking of dropbox, I'm listening to the
zomby game. Pretty cool. I have some games I could demo too sometime. And
other software also.

stay up there for 30 days if no downloading activity is happening.

It’s been a pretty good back up storage place for me especially back when we
were still using the old Mac because it only had 40 gigs storage on the hard
drive. Well it still has that, we just don’t use that machine much.

I have not gotten a chance to listen to the letter, but speaking of SS I
deactivated my account for a short period of time. If you ever decide to do
that make sure you can move your stuff within 30 days because lifetime
storage is only a benefit if you are paying them. That makes sense, but their
website was not real clear. I reactivated and just went ahead and paid for 6
months so I do not have to worry about it for a while.

Okay here’s Stacey’s latest letter on SS in the archive.

https://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/sn3wkr

I also have a letter already in the group box in DB, but am waiting for it to
go up to SS yet. SS decided it wants to upload a different folder first, and
won’t let me pause it to start the letter. So that will probably be a little
later today because I don’t plan to stay up all night while it loads this one
folder. So SS users will have to wait a little bit. Once i have a link you
all will have it too.
