Message: [QUOTE="Charles, post: 1316670, member: 103"] You missed the whole point.... [i]you[/i] made the files and uploaded them! What you do NOT have on your PC are everyone else's files..... because for one... it's physically impossible. They would not FIT! Hence the whole point of having a filesharing server in the first place (slaps forehead). I'm reminded of Dr Evil...... you know..... you just don't get it.... do you Scott.... lol. As for Architects, I wear that hat about 33% of my time. I'm the one who drafts and disperses files for our office, and fixes 80% of those working under the scheme you describe above. Do you know how many days I have lost with a smart ass like you trying to send me a damn set of plans via dropbox??? The link expired, the link was not to ME..... the link was forwarded, making it invalid, blah, blah, blah, monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, over and over again. Now sometimes I get dropbox links that work flawlessly. And that accounts for about 20% of the cases! Of about 60% of the cases, the damn job is so small that if everybody could stop trying to see who could piss the farthest could just simmer down on the freakin 1200 dpi document resolutions and such, the whole damn set easily fits into a single, multi-sheet PDF that can be EMAILED!!! If I had 5 dollars for every time I have painstakingly received a dropbox of crap after days of bs, and then immediately combined all the bazillion files into a single multi-sheet file and corrected the resolution (with NO change to visual fidelity) and then within 20 MINUTES, email the damn thing RIGHT BACK to the same idiot that couldn't pull his head from his own ass, I could probably go buy a set of injectors with that money, lol. Cause God knows..... everybody loves opening up each and every freakin page as a new PDF (slap forehead again) Boy, you can really get through a set of plans and find what you're looking for like that..... LOL I would say about half the Architects I work with purposefully inflate their drawing sizes and complicate the process to help justify why their existence, and price. So many things in this world are so much easier than the majority makes them. Same problem we're having that spawned this thread. Same sh*t.... different topic. I deal with it daily bud. I know how to use dropbox. 80% of people like you think they do, then about 3 days later they finally pull head from ass and produce a working link. Hell, you think you have access to all the files on dropbox at any time simply because you have access to [i]your[/i] files on your computer, lol. Well, duh, lol. What about Jimbob that sent you that set of plans that you didn't save, you just viewed online and decided not to bid on? Lets say you want to take another look at those, whoops...... that link has expired.... and bingo... you don't actually have those files. As an added bonus, you have no way to get them either, unless you have Jimbo's phone number. And I'll still have the phone number to the man standing in the room next to the whirring servers this site is being served from, lol. I don't know the guy's number that runs the computers for dropbox, do you? [/QUOTE]
