\"Dropbox\"I love Dropbox<\/a>. I’ve used it for years and thanks for various referrals, promotions and codes, I’ve managed to get up my Dropbox up to about 25GB of space, of which I use a large amount \u00a0every month. I sync data from apps like 1Password and Transmit.<\/p>\n

No one else has managed to make syncing and sharing documents in the cloud as easy as Dropbox, and in the last few months, when they added automatic screenshot uploading and pasting a URL to my clipboard, it became an essential piece of my workflow every day.<\/p>\n

One area that always stuck out, however, was their pro plan. You could get 100GB of space for $9.99 USD per month. Not the worst deal, but when Google changed their pricing and made 100GB $1.99 USD, $10 for 100GB didn’t look as appealing.<\/p>\n

Last week, Dropbox revamped their pro plan and is now offering a staggering 1TB of data for $9.99 a month, matching Google’s price.<\/p>\n

Besides the extra space, new features include:<\/p>\n

With Dropbox Pro, you get an extra layer of control. Set passwords and expirations for shared links, and manage permissions for shared folders. Plus with Pro, you can delete your Dropbox folder from any lost or stolen device.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I love the idea of Dropbox storing a terabyte of data for me, and having access to it anywhere in the world I am. <\/p>\n

My biggest question is can I selectively sync what is on each of my devices? My Macbook Pro\u00a0only has 256GB of SSD storage with an extra 64GB microSD card in a Nifty MiniDrive<\/a>, and trying to sync any amount of data would quickly fill my drive.<\/p>\n

Question answered! <\/p>\n

@mrichwalsky<\/a> Look for Selective Sync Settings in the Account Tab in the Dropbox Preferences.<\/p>\n
