Ditching Dropbox

By

I’ve used Dropbox for some time here at TweakHound.com. A few months ago, Dropbox banned links from this site. I corrected the issue they had even though it was in fact bogus. No matter how hard I tried Dropbox would not rectify this situation. Truly poor, almost non-existent customer service. So I have dropped them for both this site and my paid, separate, personal account.
I am now going with MediaFire. They have a free account but I am going with the “Pro” version. It is currently half off at $3.75 per month (U.S.) billed annually or $5 month-to-month. With this I get:
– PC and mobile device access (app)
– Unlimited sharing
– Direct links to files
– 1TB (1000GB) of space
– and 20GB per file among other things.
I will be updating links here as I have time.

Acronis True Image And Win10

By

A few people asked me about using Acronis True Image and Win10.
First as I have stated repeatedly, I DO NOT install it. I only use the boot disk.
So, I have been using Acronis True Image 2015 since it came out. It has worked fine with Win10 UEFI and not, dual boot and not.
I just purchased TI 2017 and ditto there.
I don’t what else to say but if you have questions just ask.
And please, if you are gonna buy it use the link here so I get a commission.
