Hi, being a belt & braces kind of a person, and not wanting to buy into iCloud storage (I already have 1tb on dropbox) I'm trying to make a backup of my photo library (about 28 000 pictures) for dropbox.
I don't want the mac to use dropbox as storage - I just want to have a non-apple copy of my photos somewhere in case of problems.
A couple of questions:
1. I couldn't find a solution on line for how to do this so I guessed and copy/pasted the photolibrary.photolibrary file into the 'photos' folder on dropbox - 5 ½ hours later it still hasn't finished syncing - will I be able to access the JPGs from a windows laptop later?
2. If this is all I need to do to have a copy of the photos, then can I just resync the folder periodically to get any newer photos onto dropbox?
Thanks for reading and for any answers you may have.
