The main problem with solutions other than Dropbox and iCloud (e.g., Box, Copy.com,Evernote, Google Drive, Microsoft Cloud Drive) is lackluster support from 3rd party iOS apps. To me, it really doesn't matter how much storage these cloud services offer if apps that I prefer to use don't support them.

Having said that, it is very clear that Dropbox's pricing is dramatically higher than its peers. Dropbox's CEO commented last week at Re/code that won't be cutting price nor increase storage capacity, which sounds like a big gamble.

Yes, but that was before icloud Drive. Dropbox is the best somution for the mac currently, but if apple gets this right (unlike iDisk), people will leave Dropbox (myself included). They are going to have lower their price.

The answer is no you can't backup iPhoto with Dropbox and multiple computers.

You can use a Dropbox folder to hold your iPhoto container (file) but what is the point? No other computer can use it without corrupting it.

The problem isn't Dropbox but the way Apple implements containers.

So technically, you can backup ONE iPhoto container to Dropbox. However, it real world use you can't.

Correct, just wanted to make sure I understood what you were saying that is all. I agree.

Will iCloud drive let you move files to the cloud like an actual drive or do you have to sync wil files on physical hard drives like Dropbox and Google drive?
