This reads like one of those articles where they list established services and casually include an unknown one. It's best to disclose your affiliation.
Anybody know of any other privacy-oriented Dropbox/Drive alternatives?
Has a 5GB free tier, higher tiers cheaper than dropbox. Based in Canada if that matters.

Or Syncthing as others have pointed out.
I'm still thinking which is best.
And to continue with privacy oriented solutions that allow you to better avoid surveillance... -Alternative to Gmail: ProtonMail ( https://protonmail.com/ ) -Alternative to Google: DuckDuckGo ( https://duckduckgo.com/?t=hk ) -Alternative to Dropbox and GoogleDrive: Duple ( https://www.duple.io/en/ ) -Alternative to Whatsapp: Signal ( https://signal.org/ )
Just gonna toss StartPage ( https://www.startpage.com/ ) out there as an alternative to Google. DDG uses bing under the hood. StartPage proxies requests to Google. I've just personally found the latter to give better consistent results, particularly with my searches for technical/programming issues.

That's what it actually is. If you look at cloudyo's comment history, its all about Duple.
I don't mind self-promotion on HN, especially if they built it themselves, but this is a bit much.

Didn't FBI track down and catch Dread Pirate Roberts despite all the Tor network/browser anonymity? Did he do something stupid to break his anonymity or did FBI break Tor in some way?
Here is the relevant section from the Times article on the IRS agent that figured it out:
"""
Mr. Alford’s preferred tool was Google. He used the advanced search option to look for material posted within specific date ranges. That brought him, during the last weekend of May 2013, to a chat room posting made just before Silk Road had gone online, in early 2011, by someone with the screen name “altoid.”
“Has anyone seen Silk Road yet?” altoid asked. “It’s kind of like an anonymous Amazon.com.”
The early date of the posting suggested that altoid might have inside knowledge about Silk Road.
During the first weekend of June 2013, Mr. Alford went through everything altoid had written, the online equivalent of sifting through trash cans near the scene of a crime. Mr. Alford eventually turned up a message that altoid had apparently deleted — but that had been preserved in the response of another user.
In that post, altoid asked for some programming help and gave his email address: rossulbricht@gmail.com.

I don't know much about them, but Sync https://www.sync.com seems to be in this space. Has a 5GB free tier, higher tiers cheaper than dropbox. Based in Canada if that matters.
