You should not use this program until they implement cloud syncing

This biggest flaw with this program is the fact that the data library is stored under the ~/Library folder. That was great when it was 2003 and you needed someplace to put index files. This is now 2014, Mac has gone to great lengths to hide this folder and on top of that, DL has failed to provide any sort of third party sync, whether iCloud or Dropbox or anything.

In case you have a problem with your computer, the data is gone. Given the many options available today, that’s simply inexcusible. There are forum posts about hack workarounds, symlinking to Dropbox folders, which don’t work consistently and are ripe for corruption. Many backup programs skip hidden folders, and it’s certainly hard to try and restore even if they do. The onus should not be on the user to have to piece together indexes from ashes in case of disaster. Maybe the best days of DL are behind it, it certainly is not the hot product it once was. But if it’s still in active development, take into account the fact that you have been around a while, meaning your customers have a lot of data built up over the years. There’s no reason not to use tools that are available now to help protect it.
