If I drag a folder to Dropbox, will only the new changes in the folder update to the cloud?
Hi,
If I have done changes in a folder in my computer, can I drag the whole folder to Dropbox and will only the new and changed files be updated to the cloud?

6 years agoThanks for checking on that Bengt B.1!
From what I could find, this file is a necessary configuration file for the Logic app. All the apps on the Mac will have a .plist file.
This is most likely the reason that the file is being recalled locally on your computer when the Logic app is running.
If it's just this file that is local, it should only be around a few KB. So it wouldn't be the entire 5 GB .projectx file locally on your computer. Even though the file is local, it will still be syncing with your Dropbox account.
For anything further than this, I'm afraid that I can't be of much more help as it's to do with how the Logic app is working specifically.
I could recommend reaching out to Apple Support to see if they can provide some more info on this and the available options.
Perhaps they can assist with the configuration or the library for the Logic app, so that you can keep the entire folder online only in the Dropbox folder.
Hope this helps!

Yes, I think this is as far as we get and as long as I'll be recalling the files from my computer all is ok but if I would have a crash and be forced to move all files from online to a new computer I will probably be in trouble since I have hundreds of Logic projects. Now this is very unlikely to happen so I'm not too worried but I think I will throw Apple a question and see what they say. If I find out something I'll let you know. Thanks again for your swift saving attempts.
