I'm guessing the boycott is over?

Not for me. I've moved to Google Drive. Cheaper, faster, better and less pro-war!

    But... it's missing the second 's'.

Not for me. All I care about this announcement is the hooks that Mamdouh Habib was hanged on while he was tortured in Egypt, sent there by the CIA. And one of the Dropbox board members was an ardent supporter of this and other despicable practices(also known as torture). If Daniel Levine is fine with this, then I am definitely not fine with paying, using or promoting his product API. edit: I switched to spideroak and am quite happy with the product.

    Look up the story of Mamdouh Habib. It's really sad, he was tortured physically and mentally, labeled a terrorist and was released without charges by the USG after 4 years in detention.

Nope, switched to BTSync. I'll investigate syncthing and whatever else comes along, but basically anything-but-Dropbox.
mkal_tsr 12y ago
Nope, permanently moved to SpiderOak
spacefight 12y ago
Not for me, I cancelled my account and moved to a self-hosted Owncloud instance.

I won't be sending any more of my personal data, taking Mailbox off my iPhone was sad though.
general_failure 12y ago
No way. I moved permanently to unison.
cryoshon 12y ago
Nope, moved to Google Drive.
scrrr 12y ago
Nope. I won't be back. Using unison now. Syncthing looks nice, too.
corford 12y ago
I gave up on them years ago and switched to spideroak. Haven't looked back since.
exarch 12y ago
Nope. I'm using ownCloud now on a VPS. Dropbox worked hard to lose my business, and I hate to see hard work go to waste.
davedx 12y ago
Another Spideroak migration here. Haven't looked back.

Owncloud (but without enthusiasm).

Nope. Actually turned out not to be such a bad thing as it forced me to rethink an implementation approach (using Dropbox APIs) that had seemed like a good idea, and was getting really sticky.

To me, Dropbox is "over". Moved to ownCloud, never looked back.

Not just a boycott, but I simply have no reason to use Dropbox. It's more expensive, does nothing Google Drive can't do, and on top of that, has all the political issues.
