@griffinkate yep, that’s where shortcomings show up, ’tis true

@j4 ditto 🙂

@j4 I rarely use the site itself but use folders on my Mac every day – essential to the way I work (er, once I’ve explained setup to ppl…)

@griffinkate now of course I’m struggling with 140 chars to clarify (if clarifying at all!)

@griffinkate I also suspect your ‘other person’ assumes you have an account set up; occasional sending is simpler with ‘public links’

@griffinkate it’s most useful when sharing lots of stuff with same ppl regularly (hence local folders); occasional sharing is less helpful

@griffinkate I managed to cock something up that way recently by accident; but it’s always retrievable. DB is prob my most essential tool

@griffinkate though sharing folders can get confused when someone accidentally moves them or uses a different account from normal, &c

@griffinkate it’s definitely better when you have Dropbox app set up as a folder on your computer, ie works just as if a local folder

@jpstacey @brighty @jwebster alas F has vomiting bug so we’re all on red alert… Sorry not to make it :/
