Deleting Dropbox Accounts Today / myLot

United States

April 23, 2022 4:48pm CST

I spent most of this afternoon transferring files from a couple of Dropbox accounts to a new, consolidated Dropbox account. The two old accounts, both of which contained several of my writing files, were then deleted. I ensured the new account is accessible from both my desktop and my laptop. This endeavor saved me the $138 I was going to spend on a portable solid-state hard drive to accomplish being able to take files from my desktop with me where ere I go, such as camping. Does this mean I can claim myLot helped me earn $138 today?

Never used Dropbox, but I have just bought a new 4 TB external HD. I have been recording so much video I have almost filled the computer HD as well as the other externals

I wound up buying the 1TB after the missus reminded me we sometimes camp in places with spotty service and she doesn't want to hear me fuss that I haven't got my files with me.

@Ronrybs It's all I need. 1TB holds a ton of documents. I'm not using it for vids and pics.

Why not? I'd be using that excuse - I mean that reasoning!

My savings didn't last long. After K reminded me of the spotty cell service in some of the campgrounds we frequent, she convinced me to get the SSD anyway. On the bright side, I had two gift cards and some Sam's Club bucks that covered the cost.

@DWDavis Having the cards, etc, would be handy.

You do you I suppose. I mean it could be worse I suppose.But if you think this cloud service will save you money go for it.

I was feeling very proud of myself until the missus reminded me of the times we've been camping and the WiFi or cell signal was spotty to non-existent. So, yeah, I went ahead and ordered the SSD.

Uhm, what if you have no Internet connection while you are in a remote camping trip, the SSD can still be handy.

You and my missus think alike. She convinced me. Yesterday, I ordered the SSD drive. So much for saving that chunk of cash. At least I got my Dropbox situation cleaned up.
