Poll: Did you “drop Dropbox”?

Re: Poll: Did you “drop Dropbox”?
#212I dropped Dropbox because of the appointment of Condoleezza Rice, becaue Rice is a warmonger, not because of her role with the NSA. Invading a country and killing the people who live there is what I was against, not the privacy thing. I don't imagine the protest even registered with the Dropbox board, but _I_ am not ok with it as long as she serves there.

#213I support Condoleeza Rice and GOP, but that wasn't enough for me to start using Dropbox — Google Drive is fine for me. Not everybody is left-leaning here.
You don't need to be left-leaning to consider Rice and the GOP unethical extremists. Basically, most of the people on this planet that consider themselves conservative wouldn't want to be associated with the US Republican Party.

#214I've drastically reduced my usage and today I use only to add files when I need to share them with someone.

#215For me, the choice of board members is second to the quality of the product. Sure there are other options, but none as effortless and universal. If you work with clients or team members who are familiar Dropbox it's too easy to pass up for company politics. I think it might be a tough sell to change your shared storage system because Condoleezza Rice was appointed.
Now privacy concerns are another matter. In my case this is not a particularly important issue. But if it were, Dropbox gives us enough reason to leave in that department.

Your "argument" wasn't that good to begin with, since you don't say why political links to the US government would be a good thing nor why she in particular would be a good choice for making/maintaining those links.
Well I didn't have long to type it so sorry if it wasn't great, but I would say that with regards to principles like Net Neutrality your idea that the tech industry doesn't need better political links to the US government is not well-grounded. I couldn't possibly speculate on who the best people to make or maintain political links are, but my speculation is that the more connected to government you are the more you w…
"with regards to principles like Net Neutrality your idea that the tech industry doesn't need better political links to the US government is not well-grounded."
I said no such thing. Seems like you're the confused one now.

#217Why "drop" Dropbox?
Just use it with client-side encryption, as you should have from the start. It's easy (on OSX):
encfs ~/Dropbox/freedom ~/Dropsafe -o volname="dropsafe" -o noappledoubleRe: Poll: Did you “drop Dropbox”?
#218Copy is working well for me.

If power is not irrelevant to you, then politics either.
I meant political persuasion as-in this isn't about right/left or good/bad for me.
At least for me, that's why you don't get an upvote (you'd get a downvote if I could give one).
You keep painting this as a political issue, when it isn't. The point is not that Rice is controversial, or a republican.
The point is that by international standards, she's a WAR CRIMINAL.
So you're not interested in politics. Fantastic. In 1930's Germany you'd be the idiot with his head in the sand, talking about how the Nazi party is really energizing the manufacturing sector and how great that is for the economy.
I am so sick of hearing people like you taking pride in how ignorant they are of the world around them.

#220It's pretty absurd that so many people are this willing to attack a woman just because of her political views. This kind of crap is what Fox News uses to claim all liberals are jack-booted fascists just waiting to setup USSR v2.0 here in America.
Not "political views" - she was one of the architects of the invasion of Iraq. It's less a disagreement than a visceral revulsion, you can't just cast that many people into the Inferno and call it politcs. Thousands and thousands have died now, it's still not really over.
