It's just personal preference in the end, but Dropbox seems much more hands-off with your files than Google Drive. I am sure it wouldn't matter for audio files, but uploading other file formats to Google often ends up with them being made Google doc digestible, so that just steered me away from using it as a sharing platform.

It is really convenient and we have no problem hearing each instrument in our practice space, even though it is so big that it sounds like we re playing in a swimming poolTwo drawbacks:It doesn t quite fit with a heavy duty phone caseCan t send files directly to email from my phone as they are too big with the appSomebody recommended a different app with it in another thread that will make files small enough to email, but I haven t messed with it yet.I use the mv88 all the time. It's so great. Emailing stuff that isn't compressed down to mp3 is a slog. Don't know if this helps, but I just plug the phone into my computer, open up iTunes, go to shared files (?) and you can drag the files directly to my desktop in wav format from the Motiv app. Super easy, super useful. Plus, then I can just pull it into reaper and overdub and edit to my heart's content.Yeah, this what I do as well, I d just like to be able to upload right after we record in the practice space, where we don t have WiFi or anything. hench wrote:TylerSavage wrote:Any reason for Dropbox over Google Drive?just personal preference in my case. i've got dropbox on my phone and never bothered w/the google drive app. as far as i can tell, one could add google drive as an exporting option in the shure app w/o any fuss...Are y all able to upload the recordings to Dropbox or Google Drive on a regular data connection?
