Now, they won’t need to take extra steps-like switching to a web browser-just to view files. Users working with just 128 GB of hard drive space can easily comb through terabytes of files to find exactly what they need-right from Windows File Explorer or macOS Finder. Every file is visible in Finder and can be previewed with Quick Look, but if it has a cloud icon in the corner, the file is stored in the cloud, not on your local drive. Smart Sync solves that problem for Dropbox Business customers by eliminating the need to store all of your Dropbox files on your local drive.
Add to that increases in file sharing and users were left picking and choosing which files to sync, adding friction to what is otherwise a nearly invisible service. Suddenly, customers’ storage on Dropbox could be larger than their local storage. By default, Dropbox syncs all of the files it stores to your local drive. File space on computers began to shrink after growing year after year. Today, Dropbox released the renamed feature as Smart Sync, which is available exclusively to Dropbox Business customers.Īn interesting thing happened in the transition to SSD storage. Last April, Dropbox announced Project Infinite, a way to see all of your Dropbox files without having to store local copies.
