This is the very reason I dumped Dropbox. Used to be great - I just created symlinks to all my normal data folders in the main Dropbox folder and all of those folders would then be real-time (ish) backed up to the cloud without me ever having to touch anything or move all my stuff into the Dropbox folder. Then they decided to drop support for symlinks…
This is one person’s journey through other issues like loneliness and depression, which can’t be written off. However, for the vast majority of us (me included), there are nearly unlimited benefits to WFH over going back to the office and it’s clear that benefit to both employee and employer can’t be ignored.
Edit: also, looks like this is the second Medium article posted by the same user that seems to be anti WFH so maybe agenda there?
I built a ruobo workbench for hand tool and other general woodworking tasks. Was made with all mortise and tenon joints and no fasteners, so I got to learn and practice lots of techniques (hand saw and chisel cuts, router flattening, lamination, etc).
Ow - too accurate.
They weren’t - they were on my file system and using symlinks in my Dropbox folder pushed them up to my DB account as well.
