I switched to Syncthing for everything apart from photo syncing. Haven't looked back. http://syncthing.net/
This looks great. Do you have a server or are you just syncing between PCs? I'm wanting to set up a backup server for music and such, but most virtual server providers (like Linode, DigitalOcean) don't seem optimized toward hard drive space. Could you point me in the right direction?

#283However, I just reinstalled yesterday because a partner on a new project I'm working on shared some files with me via Dropbox.

#284I 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.
Not everyone who dislikes Rice is left-leaning neither.
In right-winger logic they are, of course.

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?)
I dropped Dropbox because Google Drive simply offered a better product in general for cheaper. Dropbox is probably the LEAST feature-rich and mid-range to high in the cost part , compared to all the other file sharing services out there.

#286I switched to Copy.com, because it was the only option I could find which met all of my criteria: [1] Actually works, reliably [2] Works on Linux [3] Generous free quota Of course, I'm probably not the best customer profile to target. I'm a shameless freeloader, and would never even consider paying money to go beyond a free quota. Until my home Internet service is an order of magnitude faster, these services are only…

Um sorry I am confused. Are you saying that C. Rice is going to help dropbox "navigate political regulatory waters"... in favor of their users? Am I understanding this correctly? C. Rice watches out for me?
Yes. What do you think happens when a public official transitions to the private sector? That they are a plant still serving their old employer? Or, perhaps, that they are applying skills and knowledge learned in their old job to a their new role for a new employer?
But I think we have a disagreement on who that employer is. The employer stays the same, no matter which artificial side, the "employee", takes.
I thought that much was clear, in today's world. Maybe it isn't. Maybe I am way too cynical. Who knows.
