The drawback is that if the machine is rebooted (or Bob logs off instead of doing 'switch user') and it ends up that Sally is logged in but Bob is not, then the Dropbox daemon will not be running, and Sally's work will not be synced. Even if a different user (say Sally) is also logged in and is actively using the desktop, since Bob is logged in in the background, the daemon will keep running and any of Sally's work in the Dropbox folder will be synched right away. This is fine as long as Bob is logged in. How do I set up the Dropbox syncing process?Ĭurrently I have the Dropbox daemon running under only 1 of the user's accounts (call him Bob). I want all of them to be able to access the same Dropbox folder. I included my last statement about not being in the market for an Intel Mac simply (at the time) to head off any repeat suggestions that I buy a new Mac - that's just not affordable for us at the moment.I have an Ubuntu machine with multiple users. Eight years after the Intel transition they still support PowerPC. But, in the same way, other posters can't make blanket assumptions that no one is using outdated software or hardware anymore because that isn't true either. Even Microsoft is trying to kill XP now, so expecting them to support me on PowerPC even when Intel was around when SkyDrive was first introduced is not realistic. And I don't expect anything from companys that have moved on. I realize that I'm in a considerable minority here and I accept that. So, my response was to indicate that not everyone could because not everyone is using modern Macs - or PCs for that matter. By suggesting SkyDrive the poster just assumed I was capable of using it, or that I should be. This comment you quote me on was written in response at the time to what I perceived as an assumption. I would love it if they would, but it makes no business sense for them to do so. Click to expand.Oh, I wasn't arguing that they should.
