Re: Dropbox is in your Office
#202I stopped using Dropbox after the whole Condoleezza Rice thing and have been using a mix of Google Drive and OneDrive and I must say I like them a lot better. They do the same (and more if you use other Google Apps) and prices are cheaper. Are there any benefits to using Dropbox? Are there any other real alternatives you could recommend to give them a try?.

Dropbox has a native linux client which can not be said for either OneDrive or Google Drive.
I use a mix of Dropbox and BTSync right now

Isn't Box fully HIPAA-compliant?

#204Dropbox's big benefit for me, their pricing and unethical board members aside, is the sheer number of ancillary services that it works with. Odds are if some random desktop or mobile app has implemented a sync-between-devices service, it's using Dropbox.
That feature is more important to me than just the file storage. Google Drive will become a lot more useful once developers start picking it up.

There is onedrive-d, but it's in very early development and can be a bit buggy. Fortunately the bugs manifest in duplicate files, not missing files, but it's a bit of a hassle to mange after a while.
Re: Dropbox is in your Office
#206We know that much of the world relies on a combination of Dropbox and Microsoft Office to get work done. In fact, Dropbox is home to over 35 billion Office documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. See, you already lost me as a customer by highlighting the level of access you have into your customer's private data, and your willingness to exploit it for commercial gain.
those numbers also mean it is much harder to find anything in it or easier for you to hide shit.

#207we use exchange + dropbox, so this will be a nice feature

Last time I looked at the Google Drive terms of service -- which was admittedly years ago (I ought to check again) -- they were basically unacceptable for me because Google were demanding a perpetual non-exclusive copyright license to everything I stored there which would have allowed for unlimited reproduction or use for any purpose Google felt like making of it. It looked like your standard boilerplate land-grab, a…
This comment made me curious. When I went to check the actual terms of service, I found this line: "Some of our Services allow you to upload, submit, store, send or receive content. You retain ownership of any intellectual property rights that you hold in that content. In short, what belongs to you stays yours." which is suddenly followed up by: "When you upload, submit, store, send or receive content to or through o…
I think many people in comments to your post not understand that "can" is not equal to "will". The rights they require are mostly for avoiding issues with some countries, testing, avoiding responsibility during hack attacks, removing duplicates and editing some files that could be browser open.
If anyone thinks that Google, multi billion company would take your photo and publish it to make money out of it - you are creating issues to yourself.
Its Google, they are all about your data, statistics, behaviours and keywords. Not about stealing things and using your photos/artwork for marketing purposes.
Cloud = trust. No matter if its Dropbox or Skydrive or Box. On the end of the day you either trust company or not. No matter what's in TOS.

I use www.Copy.com. It is a real alternate to Dropbox with more free space.

It explicitly says you license them('Google') the content for promoting their services.
Is this some kind of irrevocable license that you, as copyright holder, must adhere to forever and always? Or is it a license you can revoke at any time?
They mention that too ... it's irrevocable by you (according to them at least).
