Will CW Replace Gobbler?

Any news about that?   Would love an online sharing utility!
 
I re-installed from scratch, so I dont have X3 installed and don't want it.

    There are zilllions. Wetransfer.com, Dropbox, google drive immediately comes to mind. I would only use these to share files I would never trust them as primary backup facilities, maybe secondary backup.

    I would never trust gobler again myself.

    I thought Gobbler was horrible. Huge CPU drain.  I subscribed and unsubscribed within a week.  Not missing it here! I switched to Microsoft OneDrive with a free sync program and haven't looked back since.  Costs me 99 cents a month.

    Peace!

    Oh ok.. i thought Gobbler had a more fully integrated design with Sonar, could be wrong.

    I liked it.

    I make some videos. This one shows how to do a physical loopback on the RME UCX to get many more equalizer nodes.

    Trouble is that Gobbler went to version 2.0 and only had support for the Mac platform. No news on PC but I think it's vapourware.

    If you want this kind of service i guess it's an individual thing to follow up.

    Gobbler was a great idea with great functionality that worked well for me for a while until they decided to stop supporting Windows. Remember that? They warned Windows users to download all of their backups before a certain date after which they would not be accommodated. Then after much online outrage, they apologized, said that they would refund everyone's money and continue to backup their files, with a view to releasing Gobbler 2.0 which they'd previously said would only be available for Macs. Well I waited and waited and waited until it looked like they just weren't going to bother, then gave up. Besides which, Gobbler had started to malfunction for me - randomly logging me out and failing to back stuff up for days at a time, creating duplicate files, that sort of thing. I removed it straight away and I will never allow it back on my computer again. They've thrown Windows users under the bus and don't care. 
     
    So I switched to Crash Plan and couldn't be happier. It provides much the same backup functionality as Gobbler but executed a lot more professionally. I got the annual subscription and it was along the same lines as Gobbler price wise, only there are no space limits as far as I can tell. Screw Gobbler.

    Indeed.  Will never go back to Gobbler again.  
     
    I am experimenting with DropBox and so far it is working perfectly as both a back up and file transfer service.

    I like app.box.com better than dropbox for collabs.  Even with the gratis version, you can set up folders for collabs and grant access to others.  A one stop point for up- and downloading tracks.
     
    I've used it thru 8 or 9 collabs now and it's been a good tool.
