Please move this if anyone objects to it's placement here. This is mainly for android users since their dropbox service is sort of intended to be used with android, but it mainly serves as google's online backup/cloud storage service. I went to their site, I jumped through all the FUC*ING hoops imaginable to access the free 48GB of space. So I'm eventually granted the space to use. But when I went to upload a folder containing MP3s which I wanted to, well, back up, I was given an error message saying I could......"not upload files of this type". Um, what? I did everything right. I managed to upload some files (mp3s and a few pics) that I individually pegged for upload. I've already got some pictures stored on Dropbox so I know it works.
But if you have so much stuff that you need anything more than a couple gigs of space to store it online, then you probably have those files in (all together now)......*folders*. That's right, kids! Yet it would seem to me that with Dropbox, you can't upload entire folders, only individual files, and if, like many of us, you may have a picture archive of thousands of pictures which you want to upload for cloud storage, it's going to take longer than it takes for fucking WOOD to petrify to tag all of them for uploading. Plus if you're uploading a music library, it's sort of pertinent that the files stay in the folders they're already in. In the case fo iTunes, the folders are divided by artist, then within that you have albums, then tracks. So what can I do? And do other online backup non-free services allow you to upload-god forbid!!-entire folders?
