This is why I prefer Dropbox, which also stores copies on MY iMac and thus it's all backed up on my TimeMachine and CarbonCopyCloner backups. Plus I can put it on a flash drive or burn to a CD if I want.

Not sure what this has to do with "clouds". I didn't see any reference to any kind of weather. dntknw.gif

I don't want to point fingers... but I have to ask, "Jack, did you have anything to do with this?" Thinking.gif whistling.gif

OTOH, I have to admit that upon returning home after running an errand, I hear my scanner cycling back on. Perhaps I have done something to affect unintentional with my headless mini! eek2.gif With no one to 'monitor' it, I suppose it could be doing things to the interweb pipes!!

...or maybe it's just the NSA having a tantrum...
