There’s been a lot of talk here and on other forums about Dropbox no longer working well for RapidWeaver project files. Seems a lot of people are getting away from Dropbox and going to OneDrive or iCloud.
This is driving me nuts! I’m not sure what is going on. A simple change to my website and the resulting Dropbox sync ( 9-hours and counting ) can be seen in the attached screen grab…
Since updating to RW 8.4 this has been going on. I am now running 8.4.1
I have changed nothing so this is either a dropbox or a RapidWeaver issue - Right?
It is a 98mb project file but again, never a problem since Dropbox save / backup was added…
Any help wold be appreciated!

Well, so much for the idea of editing from an alias on my wifes computer to mine to edit. We ran into the same file corruption issues that I did on my NAS and that others are seeing on Dropbox. We’ll just do as Jan suggessted and copy the *.rw8 file to the local computer that we want to use. We’ll edit, publish and then copy it back to a central location until we need to work on it again. Kind of a pain but worth it not to have to deal with file corruption. Sigh.
Dropbox has served me well over the years, but in common with others it seems to be causing problems of late, corrupting files and failing to synch. So, my question is, in your opinion what is the most reliable and least fiddly way of synching...
