Rich Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 There is a Dropbox Sync icon available for the toolbar, but no Wifi / Mobile Sync button. I don't use Dropbox and more and more people are abandoning Dropbox. Can we get a matching Wifi Sync button for the toolbar? This seems like a terribly easy addition to code. I do this daily and it would be a perfect use of a button on the toolbar. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dataduffy Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) I also do not use Dropbox, and I would really like an icon for wiki Sync to be available to add to the toolbar. This is a great idea, Rich! Edited February 4, 2020 by dataduffy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 Dropbox has had a number of security / privacy failures and admissions, an awful terms of service, a very invasive and flawed app that has privileges and access beyond its needed requirements, and exhibited a general anti-consumer culture (not to mention their recent changes to pricing / device limitations). They even admit to looking at user's data. Many corporations won't allow Dropbox on their networks and I won't run it on my machines any longer. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlesman Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I think the real solution is to have Accordance host their own syncing. That is, highlights, notes, etc. are sync across devices via Accordance servers, not wifi or Dropbox. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is, highlights, notes, etc. are sync across devices via Accordance servers, not wifi or Dropbox. that's the long term solution but it's a big ask. I hope they do it, but a button would probably not be as hard in the interim. So consider me +1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgallo Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Thanks for the info about Dropbox. Would Apple iCloud or iCloud drive be an option. What do you think about this. Need to call TechSupport about this one. Thanks Richard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
