- artdigital 2y agoI'm not a business, I'm a paying customer on the most expensive personal tier. It's silly that they don't offer this feature for me. I also can't upgrade to a business plan because those require at least 3 users. It just feels like feature gatekeeping to me, but no way for me to pay more to get this feature.

- oger 2y agoWe all are probably guilty of falling for the convenience trap here or there. But setting up the sync between Dropbox and the NAS (Synology user here) with a one-way, don't delete, don't overwrite policy is a good lifeline to have - you know, just in case...
