Well, this is huge imo , Dropbox is doing a great job out there. What do you think?! https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...600-million-credit-line-ahead-of-expected-ipo
I stopped using Dropbox when I realized they were looking at what I was uploading and sending me targeted spam emails from it. (No, it wasn't porn.) Security-minded users like myself have fled Dropbox to open source alternatives like Syncthing.
I maxed out my free storage with them, but when most of that expired I moved. $10/month isn't a lot, but I only needed a fraction of the amount of storage that gets you. I'd rather pay $2 or whatever google charges for an amount closer to what I need
I can't understand why someone would use a off site service like this. Unless there are multiple people who want to access it. I have most of my import stuff saved over several hard drives and is pretty cheap overall.
I was using it to store work in progress while moving among 3 different computers. It was handier than using a thumb drive once it was set up.
Convenience. I've been on a long flight and forgotten to bring a book or anything, luckily I had several PDF's on my dropbox, just downloaded them before the flight and can read through. That's the main thing for me. I don't have anything super important backed up, it is just a convenient way of consolidating all my stuff and allowing me to immediately access it without having to worry about bringing my hard drive with me or having my laptop.
I understand. I suppose i am being a little narrow minded. It just doesn't seem like a interest that would suit me. I still refuse to have a cell phone.
In vain, some people are skeptical about Dropbox. It offers services for a wide range of people and successfully complements the modern lifestyle. It could be progressively growing stock.
It will be interesting to see how it turns out. Still I wouldn't underestimate the widespread privacy concerns.
