Pluralism does not require that you continue to patronize a business whose conduct you disagree with.
What of Dropbox's conduct do you disagree with?
I continue to use Dropbox and I'm pro the appointment of Condoleezza Rice as for the sake of our industry it is wise for us to have better political links to the US government. (Politics is irrelevant to me, but power is not. The government can already twist your arm; being on first name's basis with somebody important will be invaluable.) Edit: I thought we could openly state our opinions, but it seems I am getting…
If power is not irrelevant to you, then politics either.

(Also, anent voting patterns, anecdotal but perhaps still of interest: I've noticed, when expressing on HN political opinions which don't accord with the local consensus, that there will generally be a few slow downvotes early, followed by a quick spike of upvotes bringing the comment up to a net positive score, followed eventually by a few more scattered downvotes, with the net result being usually positive but not as much so as the initial spike would suggest.)
I tried Box and Copy, btw.

How about one for "I dropped DropBox in favour of an option with client side encryption"? Wuala, SpiderOak, even GDrive/DropBox + EncFS/Ecryptfs/BoxCryptor.

And for the more DIY people, there's OwnCloud, git-annex assistant (which supports encrypted remotes!), SyncThing and TahoeLAFS. Anyone know of a good sync client for TahoeLAFS though?
Yep, dropped Dropbox for SpiderOak ages ago due to a number of really poor security failings on Dropbox's part. (Remember the day they accidentally allowed blank passwords to login to anyones account?)

Dropbox "just works" better than any of its competition for our organization and is therefore worth the premium over more economical solutions like Google Drive.
