Agreed on the awesome post front and one of the reasons I became a customer in the first place. I'm unlikely to renew my annual subscription this year, though, because they don't support external drives/NAS. I don't like cluttering up my laptop with photos so have to transfer everything I need backing up to my rarely used desktop PC, which is a pain. I can understand there's a risk people might abuse networked storage by backing up multiple devices but in my case I wouldn't mind paying more for that service or simply based on actual GBs stored.
Edit: They do support external drives but not NAS. My bad.
- mrchucklepants 12y agoThey do support external drives but not network drives. I have a 3 TB external drive attached to my MBA that backs up just fine.
- DanEdge 12y agoUgh, sorry. Not sure if that was always the case and I've mis-remembered or there's been a change but my NAS point remains. Personally, I'd rather not faff around with an external drive plugged directly into my laptop. Edit: typo
- mrchucklepants 12y agoMakes sense. Mine is connected through a thunderbolt display so I only have to make/break one connection.
