Dropbox surprise – deleted files magically reappear after several years

Dropbox promised to delete files permanently after 30 days. This does not look good.

I stopped using Dropbox after they hired Condoleeza Rice and didn't settle on any alternative offering since I knew they would be as bad as Dropbox.

Now I have to always carry a USB key which is not very convenient but since Snowden I see my computing devices as working against me not for me. Sometimes I wish I wouldn't care about it that would make my life much simpler.
