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?

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.

After consulting Logic forum and experimenting a bit I've come to the conclusion that I zip up the Logic project and then that can be online only. This will work for any file that obstructs.

Thanks for all advice

That's great news @Bengt B.1!

 

Thanks for taking the time to get back to us here with that info too, I'm sure this will be very helpful for anyone else having the same issue. 

 

I'm just a post away if there's anything else I can help with.

 

Hope you have a great rest of your week!
