I knew apple wasn't for me when I tried to sync and backup my stuff on something that wasn't iCloud. Its just plain unusable if you don't want to be fully entrenched in their cloud services.
- jama211 1y agoI’m an iphone user and I’ve always used Dropbox and google photos as my general backup mediums.
- ThatPlayer 1y agoIsn't that photo specific backup rather than general backups? Last I tried, Dropbox on iPhone cannot backup any files owned by other apps automatically. You'd have to export it manually to Dropbox. Edit; It looks like this is possible on iOS for apps to access other app's file sandboxes with a somewhat recent iOS update. MobiusSync (Syncthing client for iOS) has beta support for it. But I see no mention of Dropbox adding support for anything similar
- jama211 1y agoIt’s true that I have some app data being stored in iCloud, but it is VERY within the free tier space limit. But depends on the app, many apps support Dropbox themselves and I store the data in Dropbox for those.
