Thanks to a new MBP bought by my employer, which I lug home most days, that machine is now my single ‘source of truth’ for DT. I found that overall I overestimated my need to sync (Bluefrog’s emphasis!), but as they say, your mileage will vary. And it tends to break at the least convenient times! More moving parts = more chance for things to go wrong. As a long-term (often sleeper) member of the DT forums and having read the complaints there, I think there is no single service that works all of the time. In the end, syncing through cloud storage introduce a potential weaknesses into the system. I can use Bonjour at home, but due to security protocols at work for some reason Bonjour doesn’t work at the office. I do sync some databases for use with DTTG (via Dropbox), and so far it has been rock-solid. When DB failed on me for one, mission critical, database, I temporarily moved it across to CloudMe which worked for a long time – until it didn’t after a long and unexplained outage last year.
Dropbox has been extremely reliable for my DT usage.Īt the same time, I’ve actually moved away from syncing all my databases between two Macs through Dropbox, which has caused me some trouble over the years (always expertly and courteously supported by the DT team, I hasten to add – even though these issues might have originated from the cloud storage provider rather than DT).
