Mac Dropbox FAQ: What do you know about the dropbox.com online backup service for Mac users?I've reviewed several, and while the price seems a little high with all these online backup services, I have to say that Dropbox (dropbox.com) is the first Mac online backup service I've reviewed that I've been impressed with. However, their approach does have one major flaw, especially for non-technical Mac users, and I'll discuss that here.
Also, the maximum online backup disk space you can rent is 100 GB, and that may not be enough for many 'power users'.But first, the good parts about the Mac Dropbox online backup service approach. Mac Dropbox installationInstalling the Mac Dropbox application is simple. Just visit, download the Mac Dropbox application, and then install the application like you normally would.The Mac Dropbox installation requires that you enter your system password, which I assumed they would need. I also got a prompt asking if I wanted to allow incoming connections for Dropbox, and I clicked the Deny button for that. (My personal nit here is that if systems need this, application vendors should warn you about this ahead of time in their installation docs. Mac OS X - Dropbox online backup featuresDropbox has some cool features, including:.
File syncing. Works across Mac, Linux, and Windows systems.
File sharing. You can specify users who can access files, or have public folders. Online backup.
This is my interest, finding a Mac online backup system for my sister and nieces. Web access. You can access and manage your files from a web interface. Security and privacy. All your interactions with Dropbox are encrypted.

Mac Dropbox online backup pricingAs of May, 2010, here's how the Mac Dropbox pricing works:. 2GB of storage - free. 50GB - $9.99/month.
100GB - $19.99/monthAs I wrote in my earlier, $10/month ($120/year) still strikes me as a very high price to pay for a backup system, especially when my Music folder alone would fill up 50GB.But here's the rub: Making a Mac backup with a DVD or CD is much cheaper, but who actually takes the time to do it? Mac Dropbox online backup system - summaryAs a technical user who isn't afraid of creating symbolic links, the Mac Dropbox approach is the best Mac online backup system I've reviewed yet. Their installation is clean and easy, and all of their documentation and support seems excellent.For the non-technical Mac OS X user, like my sister and nieces, if they can get past this symbolic link problem, the Mac Dropbox backup service can be good for them as well. Frankly, if I lived anywhere near them, this would be a no-brainer. I'd drive over, set up the links, and let them use the free 2 GB online backup system, or the 50 GB paid backup solution, and I'd probably quit reviewing Mac online backup systems.Finally, as mentioned earlier, I've written another article on, and in that article I covered a few other online backup systems, including ZumoDrive, Carbonite, iDrive, and iDisk.
When Apple made the transition from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X, one of the under-the-hood consequences was that Mac aliases—tiny files that point to other files—lost some functionality. Or to put it more accurately, many of the Unix underpinnings of OS X don’t support Mac OS aliases: Unix programs and services see a Mac alias as just a useless little file. To get similar functionality with classic-Mac-unfriendly code, you need to use Unix-style (also called symlinks or soft links).Why might you need to use symbolic links if you tend to stick to Mac apps? As an example, a search for 'symbolic link' on our own Mac OS X Hints site —many of these hints and tips require you to create symbolic links instead of Mac aliases.The catch here is that while the Finder makes it easy to create aliases, it doesn’t provide a way to make symbolic links.
The common approach to creating them is by using the ln -s command in Terminal. This can be intimidating to the Terminal-averse, but even if you don’t mind using Terminal, doing so can be a hassle (or at least a mild inconvenience) if you’re currently working in the Finder.
A simpler alternative is the free. This OS X add-on—which is provided as a services plug-in for OS X 10.6 and later, and as a contextual-menu plug-in for OS X 10.5 and earlier—adds a Make Symbolic Link command to the Finder’s contextual menus. (In 10.5, the command is in the More submenu; in all other versions of OS X, it’s at the root level of the menu.) Just right-click or Control-click on an item in the Finder, choose Make Symbolic Link, and a link to that file is created. The link looks just like a Mac alias.Exactly where the link is created depends on where the original item is located. It will usually appear in the same folder as the original file or folder; however, if you don’t have permission to create a new file in that directory, the link will be created on the Desktop. (I’d like to see an option to choose a default location for all new symlinks.) Wherever the link is created, you can then move it to wherever you like.Be sure to read the included installation instructions, as the procedure differs depending on whether your Mac is running Snow Leopard (10.6) or an earlier version of OS X; in either case, it’s a straightforward process. If you occasionally find yourself creating symbolic links—or have ever wondered how to do so—SymbolicLinker is as easy as it gets.Want to stay up to date with the latest Gems?
