I am looking at ways of locating my music library (3TB) to the dropbox cloud. I have enough storage at dropbox > 3TB (moving the library there is another challenge?!). The issue is not to make it work. That is easy. But the issue is to set it up is such a way that the dropbox library does not have to be downloaded as local copy to the local computer. How can that be achieved with a notebook ?

Not sure about the actual question (do not use DB) but I am sure I would not be trusting my library to Dropbox (or any other cloud storage).

Are you thinking of putting your master copies up there or a copy? and I guess the next question is why?

MC can be configured to play your master library from anywhere that has an internet connection...

Thanks for the reply.

I will not use a cloud-based library (such as Dropbox) as master copy. I still rely for that on a my local Synology.

I still have not figured out how to use JRiver remotely with the Synology, i.e. all music/video is on a home based Synology and JRiver is on a notebook (when traveling). It works for me with my Plex setup (I am not allowed to mention that here?!) but I have not figured out to have it work with my JRiver-setup. Any guidance?

I still want to test the alternative, i.e. with a cloudbased Dropbox library without the need for a local download on the notebook. Did anyone try to do this?

If it were me - to test - I would just put 3 albums up there and see what happens. The limiting factor here is the time it would take to copy the whole library up.

And finally I would ask myself - even if I could somehow get all 3TB up there - am I really going to listen to all? (aka - is this really the best use of my time?)

Thanks again. I understand your scepticism.

For the setup with Synology with local database and remote JRiver on notebook, I am struggling with remote access. How do I get it?
