Poll: Did you “drop Dropbox”?

"I don't want spend time setting up my own servers, I don't want to use beta software, I don't want buggy 3rd party software, I don't want to compile stuff from sources." May we invite you, provided you just need cloud storage and not happy-clicky-gui-sharing, to try rsync.net[1] ? Just works on any unix, including mac, with nothing to install. HN discount, as always.[2] [1] http://www.rsync.net/resources/notices/can…
Is there a way to use rsync on iOS?
Our service works perfectly with any SSH based tool.
I see there are a fair number of SFTP clients for IOS, and those would all work perfectly.

#293This poll is a spectacular example of selection bias, and the uselessness of polls. There's not a chance in hell that 20% of active Dropbox users have stopped using it, even among tech circles. I would be amazed if even 20% knew about this in the first place, and amazed if as much as 1/10 of those people truly stopped using Dropbox.
Nobody but a fool would ever mistake a poll on HN for a poll of the general population. The entire point of a poll on HN is to poll HN users, not the general population.
This is not a poll of HN users. It's a poll of HN users who clicked a headline about dropping dropbox.

#294Had thought for a while to upgrade to end to end encrypted cloud storage and Condoleezza news finally reminded me to get it done.

#296I dropped Dropbox when the Snowden era began.
Since then I've been searching for a suitable replacement:
btsync (broke git index files) -> unison via star topoogy (no history) -> syncthing (0.9.17 - very promising, but too memory hungry for my synology ds213j) -> synology cloudstation (simply broken, conflict files everywhere) -> seafile via seacloud.cc (promising, but keeps on eating 100% CPU core) -> btsync 1.3.109 (1.4.83 is ridiculously broken) with ntp everywhere in the hope that my git index problem won't come back.
(blog post will hopefully happen soon)

"Politics" is discrete from ethics. Condi is a pariah, ethically speaking-- a war criminal walking free. Political links to the US govt are also a bit of a hazard-- the more you willingly approach them and enable them, the more they will take from your pocket and the more they will push you around. The Snowden leaks have painted a bad picture of the US companies as a result of their compliance with ridiculous governm…
I'm certainly no fan of hers but "war criminal" is a label that's thrown around way too often with no basis or grounding. It's too often used to describe someone who engaged in some kind of war someone else doesn't like, so they're labeled as such. The actual term stems from The Hague conventions, which were not violated by her or the U.S. in this case.
Well, "war crime" is actually quite hard to apply to actions of the US, because they refuse to recognize the authority of the International Criminal Court in the Hague who decides whether these conventions were violated or not.

#298I used to use my own Dropbox account at work teaching kids computer-stuff, so they'd have an easy way to share files and a place to store their things without having to remember which particular PC they worked at last time (and messing about with USB sticks back and forth, it was chaos). This was of course a bad idea, especially after I got a Galaxy S4 phone, which came with a 50GB Dropbox upgrade, and I started usin…
Somebody explain me why this got downvoted? It was a sincere attempt to contribute to the discussion (if perhaps a tad long maybe?), and I didn't say anything really controversial, did I?
I mean, it might be a specific use-case, but I figured personal stories would be what this thread is about ... ?

#300I was just going to look for something to backup my photos... I was thinking OneDrive but I'm not sure about its security...
