Hello all. I had to stop myself from dragging my file of 10year+ files from my desktop to Dropbox without checking first.
Reason is that I’ve lost so many files in the past because of reckless actions that disrupted where files are found … I’d learned this the “hard way” so i can’t risk ten years of fles.
I’m assuming there may be a better way to transfer my files.
While on the topic, is there anyway to create a “mass backup” of these files and important them to onenote , google, etc or do they have to be backed up on a one to one basis.
Provided you are talking about the Dropbox application and its corresponding Finder location, it shouldn’t be any different from any other Finder-based move operation. Make sure that Dropbox has been configured to keep your projects available offline.
From Finder, you can compress an entire folder containing anything you like into a ZIP file and then do whatever you want with it.
If you don’t already have a Time Machine volume or other system backup, make sure you set one up first. That’s your ultimate protection against unexpected outcomes.
First, thanks for answering. I will check out your link. Yet my question about simply dragging my file of Scrivener projects into Dropbox … is that an option. It will strike you as a simple question, but all I know is that I tried something like this 4 years ago and the links all broke (but that was a PC)
In the same vein, I’d like to rename some of my files within the Scrivener file to a more meaningful naming convention, but like that issue 4 years ago, doing so broke links … maybe your link answers that or you have a new one.
