Imagine writing a paper, and the paragraphs you just typed disappear. No warning, no trace—gone before Time Machine or Backblaze can grab them. Or coding an app in Xcode, only to see error flags explode because recent changes across files have been wiped out. This is what happens when cloud syncing trips over version conflicts.
Take iCloud Drive: when it detects different versions of a file—like between a Mac and an iPhone—it often can’t merge them. Instead of flagging the issue, it silently picks a version. Open the file in an app that handles conflicts (like TextEdit), and you might choose. Use something like Xcode or Obsidian that doesn’t? iCloud decides—and it’s frequently wrong. Over time, backups overwrite the good version, and when you reopen that critical file years later, it’s lost forever.
Other cloud services bring their own headaches. Dropbox doesn’t erase files; it’s better than that. When it spots a conflict, it creates copies labeled “(Conflicted Copy)” right in the folder. No data loss, but a new problem: those duplicates can stack up fast. In a folder you rarely check, hundreds of copies—especially large ones like videos or PSDs—could quietly fill your hard drive, eating gigabytes before you notice. Google Drive and OneDrive aren’t immune either, with overlapping edits or shaky Wi-Fi turning a designer’s Photoshop work or a writer’s novel draft into a sync mess. These are the trade-offs of cloud life.
Cloud services aim for ease, but it backfires. iCloud hides conflicts entirely in Finder, risking your data. Dropbox spits out copies you might miss until your storage screams. The result? You don’t see the chaos until it’s a tax doc gone blank, a client pitch scrambled, or a drive choked with duplicates. By then, it’s a scramble to fix—if you even can.
That’s where Cloud Cub comes in. This menu bar extension watches your files across iCloud, Dropbox, and more, tackling conflicts head-on. For iCloud, it catches silent overwrites before your work vanishes. For Dropbox, it flags those runaway conflicted copies so you can prune them early, saving space and sanity. It scans your accounts on demand, pings you the instant trouble brews, and keeps your projects, notes, and memories safe—all without fuss.
Cloud Cub turns sync pitfalls into control. No more lost files. No more bloated drives. Just a simple tool that lets you use the cloud with confidence, knowing nothing slips through the cracks.
