Mac OSX file / folder sizes vs web file / folder sizes
The filesizes and folder sizes do not match between the web interface and the Finder. This makes it super tough to ensure that all files and folders are in sync... My use case is I have previously st...
Thanks Stuart
I also use iCloud for some syncing and have about 50GB of personal photos in there so do pay for a 200GB plan. Unfortunately the largest plan they do is 2TB, I currently have 5TB of storage in two DropBox accounts.
I hear you on the backup. I don't trust cloud backup at all. I was a .Mac user many years ago when the service got shut down and I was faced with moving all my data off it to another service and actualy lost a lot of data in the process, in fact it was DropBox that I move to. I only use DropBox for syncronisation. I syncronise across 4 different computers and use DropBox to ensure they are all mirrored. I can log into any of the systems and even the desktop is the same.
My backup is a little OCD. Each of the computers has a local TimeMachine backup disk and all of them also back up to a NAS also using TimeMachine. As a consequence I have 8 backups of my data across three different physical locations. Of course there is also the DropBox copy in the cloud but that's simply a means to an end rather than actually needing the data there.
I have contacted pCloud to find out about their service but I'm actually leaning to setting up my own server using ownCloud or something similar. I'll take a look at rsync.net, I hadn't seen that option before.
This clearly hasn't been resolved yet as I am having the same issue. Many many TB of data need to be accounted for and tallied quickly and without going through every clip to compare lengths just to make sure it's all there. Immensely frustrating.
