Hi Chip
It might be a mac thing :) I use windows and its about 80mb
I just dragged a copy of my entire moi3d folder from the program files into my dropbox folder.
I have the ini, my startup template, and V2 and 3 licience in the moi folder (as I use it as my USB portable version also )
At a meeting today with my laptop dropbox synced itself and I could run Moi straight from it .
When I saved a new object with Max's custom UI it updated the drop box and was available in my workstation back at work.

Works brilliantly especially for designs I did at the meeting that I can access from dropbox without having to copy them in.

Oh good grief, stay away from Google drive -it'll only make things worse.

I had similar issues with the sheer amount of files in some directories (moi is actually far from the worst, but i was also shocked the first time i saw the count for such an efficient program)

I'm not fond of bashing software or services but Google Drive just cannot compete with Dropbox.
As I (still happily) use Google for every other service i thought it would make sense to consolidate it and move my large pro Dropbox account over. Big mistake.
That was 4 months ago, and as of yesterday I gave up. I miss the stability of Dropbox

Moi is superbly portable on Dropbox - the object library functionality of CustomUI also means assetts are "just there" when needed (saved some embarrassment recently at a client meeting and I'd forgotten two essential products.)

So stick with it.. the file count is only a problem on initial indexing and sync.. :)
