Spotdox For Mac

Dropbox is one of the most popular cloud storage solutions, but the main drawback, in the view of some users, is that you get to access only the files and folders stored in the Dropbox directory.

Spotdox is a companion application for the Dropbox service designed to fix this issue: once installed, the utility offers you the possibility to access any file or folder from your computer, via a web console or by using the iOS or Android Spotdox counterpart apps.

The Spotdox application resides either in your status bar or in the Dock, and does not require your attention in any way: simple make sure the utility is launched at login, and you will not have to interact with it during the day. Note that on the first launch, Spotdox automatically copies itself to the user’s Applications directory.

Of course, for you to be able to use Spotdox, the Dropbox application must be installed on your Mac beforehand. Moreover, you must login to your Dropbox account and authorize the Spotdox application: later on, you can easily uninstall the app via the Dropbox account Settings panel.

Once everything is in place, you can easily preview any document stored on a connected computer by using the Spotdox web console, or the iOS or Android companion applications.

Since Spotdox is a subscription based service, to be able to transfer and share files, to share links to the files, or to add / remove content from Dropbox by using Spotdox, you must pay a monthly fee.

Spotdox is a great tool to have around if you need to remotely access files that are stored on your Mac but are not contained in the Dropbox folder. However, take into account that your Mac must be running whenever you want to use the Spotdox capabilities to gain access.
