Obviously this question should only apply to NFL fans who also make this claim about dropping DropBox as a service.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I know of box.com, but that's US based. I would also like to hear of alternatives.
Their S-1 filing doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. They literally wrote under "Risk Factor": We have a history of cumulative losses, and we do not expect to be profitable for the foreseeable future. http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1372612/0001193125141...
Besides, with cloud storage, you should plan for and expect that they could disappear tomorrow. That goes for every provider.
Do any Dropbox alternatives support Mac resource forks? That's the biggest reason I stick with them, as even Google Drive doesn't.

You should get some of yours straight. * Obama followed the Iraq Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) that Bush had signed. He did not accelerate withdrawal of troops at all - if Bush was still president it would have been the same timeline. He also promised to get us out Afghanistan immediately, but he lied: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zn134-KLL7Y * Obama could release all prisoners of Guantanamo right now (that's…
The fact that the Obama administration withdrew American troops from Iraq on schedule does not refute the fact that it did withdraw them. He was not just blocked in attempting to transfer prisoners, he was blocked from having them tried in American courts. The rest of your points don't seem to be related to the ones I was refuting. No administration is flawless. I was only pointing out that the parent comment to mine…
The Guantanamo prisoners simply don't need to be tried by American courts in order to be released. http://images.politico.com/global/2013/05/03/lettertoobama_g...
Fair enough on the other points.
So I've been wanting to migrate away from Dropbox and onto a self-hosted solution for a while anyway, and I guess this would be a good opportunity to do so. Unfortunately, there don't appear to be any good open-source solutions at the moment. I'm not looking for a fancy web interface or anything, just a simple sync between devices, with a usable API for building apps. In particular, rsync etc. doesn't really offer th…

Yes, all believe they Iraq had an ongoing chemical and nuclear weapons program (remember the attempt to send in inspectors). Not all agreed to going to war, but consensus they had some pretty nasty weapons.
The attempt? The UN absolutely sent inspectors. That people didn't trust Saddam and wanted to make sure that he was not fooling around is one thing. To invade the country on exaggerated or just made up claims is entirely different. I don't know about China or Russia, but from what I understand, Chirac never really bought into the "proofs" proffered by the US. As for other countries who did go to war, it's a question…
Fox News and certain American talk radio hosts heavily promoted the belief that adequate inspections never occurred and that Hans Blix's conclusions were not to be trusted (because he hated America?). efa's understanding of the events might be based on such sources.
Well, that's the end of my usage of Dropbox, effective immediately. I'll make sure to mention Condi's association with them in every conversation involving Dropbox, in hope of spreading knowledge about their profane selection of board members. It's a shame that they had to pick a Bush crony. These people should be in prison for malevolently misleading the public in order to start a for-profit war which killed hundred…
>>> It's a shame that they had to pick a Bush crony. Another great example of how partisanship and shitty double standards have ruined our country. The fact is, the vote to invade Iraq was a bi-partisan vote: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Resolution_to_Authorize_t... "Introduced in Congress on October 2, 2002, in conjunction with the Administration's proposals,[2][7] H.J.Res. 114 passed the House of Representati…

Hey now, it would have been for nothing, all years of war and 600 000 deaths, if these people who were in charge and lead the effort, would suddenly find themselves in low-key positions in society. The top cream must stay at the top. Besides, her technical skills and understanding of IT for sure are awesome, making her the finest choice for Dropbox business.
And yet, President Obama selected Joe Biden as his vice president, who also voted for the same war. Hillary Clinton did too, and she's the leading Democratic contender for 2016. Why no outrage? Because they have a D next to their names?
No sarcasm, seriously, I think both Biden and Clinton should resign from any positions they are holding. If they dont want to, we must make fire them.
But whatever, just like bankers, those who are on top obviously can not make any mistake, no matter how big or what kind of mistake, to jeopardize their income or influence in society.
But those poor people, you slip on one payment, or get caught with one joint, oh fuck god have mercy, you poor bastard. Also "whats this, B-? nah sorry brah you arent eligible for this position."
