Why do people continue to upload and trust their data to this company? I closed my Dropbox account back in 2011 when they had that 'bug' that made passwords for any account optional for four hours.
Since then they have had more security problems/breaches, and admitted to user info being stolen.
Today's news isn't anything concrete... but their moderators were jerks, which makes the company look bad whether they are employees or not.

- srdev 14y agoSpiderOak claims to.
- codesuela 14y agoWuala.com does aswell (not mentioned in parent). They are a Swiss company and don't have a lot of traction in the US.
- drivebyacct2 14y agoWhy are you trusting any of them to do that anyway. Ecryptfs is your friend.
- greiskul 14y agoThere is no Google Drive linux client yet =/. What about the others? I use Dropbox on Windows, Linux, Mac, Android and I have even used it on a personal server. I have not seen anything that can replace it.
