Dropbox New Account Apple Computer

New speed for my Computer !

My first NEW computer since 1991. My last new computer was an Apple Mac Quadra 840AV. I built my own Windows machines in the 90’s and 2000’s. Bought used Mac’s off eBay after that. 2007 and 2012 MacBooks. This is an incredible computer. I highly recommend it. Fantastic keyboard. Love it!

New computer required a new Spyder. This one worked well on the new Apple Big Sur Operating system with a new Mac Mini with M1 chip.

This is so amazing, I can even use my Apple music account with it! Just love it!!

Love it, just wished it would mount faster on the desktop. I have my dropbox in it and sometime when I reboot the computer DB can't find it(because it didn't mount yet) and causes some issues. So I turn on DB manually now.

If you are looking for a network shared large TB storage try this. I am not a fan of the cloud... So this allows you to create a mycloud .com account or not. The drive still shows up as a computer to share a drive to the PUBLIC folder. It does not show up under storage. If you don't create an account on mycloud then their software isn't any help. Remember their software is to sync their cloud service to your pc. However I will repeat not using the cloud or their software stops it from showing up as a computer to connect to and assign it a DRIVE letter on your computer and everyone on the network. Setup is a breeze. Plug in power and ethernet cable and thats it. YOUR security on your computer (IE OS) will determine what you need to set to allow you to see and use another computer on the network. I wanted a non raid solution for simplicity. I have had several raid NAS devices and I am tired of rebuilding the drives when one of the disk drive fails or the NAS box housing the drives quits. I now can keep a quick backup of computer files for the family on another spot. I just need to keep in mind the mycloud drive has a life expectancy. SO if you want to use the cloud to sync your files so they are never lost. Create a log in to mycloud and presto the sync software works. If I want to use a cloud for safety. I personally would subscribe to DROPBOX and sync my my cloud home drive to it. Many software products have built in support for using DROPBOX over the internet. mycloud from WD is free and can go away anytime and is not widely supported as DROPBOX . Keep that in mind if you decide to use mycloud.com.

Fast boot-up. New life to an old computer.

this computer is fast and its apple... what more can I say.

As a former Nest customer, I got sick of the storage fees. This camera works perfectly with my Apple iCloud account with no additional fees. Camera image quality is great and alerts etc. are east to set from the Home app. If you have Apple iPhone/iPad/AppleTV or HomePod and an Apple account, save some money on security subscription fees.

At first I was like, wait, I didn't get my AppleCare. Then when I logged into my Apple account it was already all set up. Save yourself a step in setting up your new computer!
