@jonhicks Aw great! It’s such a nice area. We’ve lived beside Byres Road for 16 years (I’m originally from Edinburgh but Glasgow’s miles better). Hope you have a nice trip 😊

PS, love your work 🧡

@elliotjaystocks Thank you! 🙏🏼

Hand-coded from scratch because I’m a perfectionist (fool).

@elliotjaystocks Yes share links are definitely a feature. Same as Dropbox you can share a folder with another Jottacloud user, or just share files or folders individually to anyone using the share link 👍🏼

Shared link will have a download file or download zip option.

@elliotjaystocks

The only gotchas I can think of:

1. If you send or receive a lot of Dropbox shared files, you’ll probably need to keep a DB account around for that.

2. If you use Dropbox’s extended version history, I don’t think there’s an equivalent for @jottacloud? It’s just 30 days that files hang around in the trash for. I used to have it on DB but never actually had to use it, so it was a bit of a waste of money. Backblaze has similar functionality if you have that running too.

@elliotjaystocks

Another good feature is that there’s a clear distinction between ‘synced’ and ‘archived’. I know DB has the ‘online only’ option, but you have to set that up on every new machine.

With Jottacloud, your sync stuff syncs, and the stuff in the archive folder never syncs to new machines. It’s a good offline store for larger stuff that’s not too important to have downloaded everywhere all the time.

@elliotjaystocks Yup, I migrated towards the end of last year. Jottacloud has been solid and I’m happy so far.

One of the reasons I switched was the ability to more easily and reliably store the cloud folder on an external drive rather than the boot drive. DB can be fussy / fiddly about that.

There’s a Danish company called AIAIAI that’s been making custom modular repairable headphones for 15 years or so.

That brand name didn’t age well 😬

The folks at @ia wrote about this back in 2016, also prompted by Apple’s design decisions.

They even made an icon-zapping space invader game, which is still available!
