Why we are leaving Dropbox

I'm using dropbox + google drive (due to google docs) both home and for work and I get all of your claims. But what's the alternative? Besides google drive that has it's own issues all other solutions are less than dropbox or same with something missing (proper mobile app etc)...

So what are you switching to?

I expected to read the alternative solution you plan to use. Did i miss something?

Last 2 lines made it sound like google drive?

Am I the only one who expected 5. Condoleezza Rice?

We use Google Drive internally - but I've been thinking about trying out Box. Integrated file editing makes a big difference.

This should be 5 reasons, and #1 should be their lackluster history with security.

Spideroak FTW! If you keep an eye open for promos and stuff, it's not hard to rival a free Dropbox account.

(For things I don't care about or need to use in collaborative settings, I still use Google Drive and OneDrive)

Three of these issues are minor UI/UX gripes. What's the better alternative? What more "innovation" do you expect from a file syncing app that already works really well? Have you even reported the file list bug you are experiencing to Dropbox so they can fix it?
