I've started using Hubic since then but I haven't completely gotten rid of Dropbox yet, I just don't use it for anything important.

Re: Poll: Did you “drop Dropbox”?
#122I kept Dropbox because they appointed Rice. Dropbox is forced to navigate complicated political, regulatory waters. To do that successfully you need someone who knows how they works. People move from the public to private sector all the time to do exactly that.
(edit: why would you downvote this? that's crazyballs!)

#123Copy is quite nice. 15GB free. $10/month for 250GB.

#124Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yeah she is female and black so plenty for the right to hate.
While a large swath of people believe that conservatives hate women and people that aren't white, this is not the case. Racists prejudice a specific race. Sexists prejudice a specific gender. Conservatives, however, are just people that have a different view on how a country should be run. These three things are completely separate qualities. Some people may exhibit several of these qualities, while others do not. I…

#125I 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…
What makes you think down/upvotes are related to political beliefs? It could be that people think you are making a good/bullshit argument, regardless of their political inclination.
1. The poll was framed in a way that did not make my opinion
available.
2. Nobody else had expressed my position so I thought that it
was uncommon.
3. I assumed the poll was meant to try to force Dropbox to drop
her from the board.
4. I expressed a position that wasn't that political but that
I knew would anger or confuse political witchhunters.
5. It is quite common for people to downvote information that
does not agree with their ethical aesthetics.

#126I still using Dropbox but I'm migrating to Syncthing

#127I switched to Tonido Personal Cloud after the Rice incident. That's not the only reason. I always wanted to have a home server of my own and Tonido fit my requirements

#128Why would i ever use Dropbox when there's a better more private option out there like btsync. All you need to do is run your own server which I already do and you basically have the same functionality.
> Why would i ever use Dropbox Because setting up and maintaining your own server is a lot more work than a click and a download. And a single server is a single point of failure, whereas Dropbox's architecture isn't, whereas downloads speeds will be limited to your upload speeds when you are away from home, whereas many other reasons such as sharing, and the Dropbox ecosystem.
Is that high speed really necessary or that high reliability.
So what if the sever goes down for a few minutes or a hour sometime, your files will just sync when it comes up.
A small virtual server in a data center can do a decent job of it.

You make a claim that,
it is wise for us to have more political links to the US government.
You also write,
Politics is irrelevant to me

#130I got pissed off at dropbox because they keep trying to suck my entire Photo library into it, and the client crashes a lot, but I haven't gotten rid of them yet. It's only a matter of time, though.
