You're totally right because iCloud for syncing and sharing files is super transparent, offers easy collaboration and supports every type of file on pretty much every platform.
Oh, wait, none of that is true.

And this is why nothing is being done about this problem.
It isn't hard to imagine scenarios where this data is used against you.
Simply to move on, just as we did with 16bit apps in the past.
64bit does not have any disadvantages beside the fact of a moderate increase of memory usage, anything else would be beneficial.
There are many apps which are 64bit for Linux while its OSX counterpart is still 32bit. Next to this I see some (uTorrent) claiming that there 64bit test on windows underperformed and therefore they are holding back on 64bit for OSX: that sucks.
Getting rid of 32bit apps has the biggest advantage that the OS does not have to load the 32bit kernel anymore, usually 64bit apps are faster that their 32bit equivalents (at least if they are properly compiled). I am only seeing a win situation here, there is no loss.

This is a one time thing?
I didn't realize this is a one-time operation. If I am understanding correctly, importing iPhoto to Dropbox copies all your photos over to Dropbox just the one time.
Now my question is if I do it again does it start all over (took almost 24 hours last time to copy my 11K photo library over) or does it just copy over the new or changed photos? I'm nervous because when I hit the button today it said, "copy over 11,425 photos?" I quit because I can't have it hog the bandwidth again for 24 hours or every time I want to back up my photos.

I use iPhoto to import videos I take on my iPhone. Can anyone tell me if Dropbox iPhoto Importer also imports videos?
Thanks.
Thanks.
no use
The only reason I use and love dropbox is so I can have my imac at work synced with macbook and other devices I have. It works great and I love it. I don't see the point for iphoto linked to dropbox as it will not sync the iphoto library on multiple machines. My iPhoto library is 90GB big. I certainly do not want 180 GB on my macs and still have an iphoto library not synced between different machines. It is an absolute useless function other than filling up more space on your dropbox.
