Not to be that guy, but since no one else has mentioned it: a file in Dropbox is a file shared with the NSA.
I was a happy paying Dropbox customer since 2008 but downgraded my account to the free tier a few months ago. I no longer consider Dropbox trustworthy for anything except (1) trivial files and (2) files encrypted client-side before they're put into Dropbox.
Even with the above, I had two specific use-cases that only recently did I resolve:
- 1Password Sync. Dropbox is no longer necessary here since 1Password natively supports iCloud sync across Mac and iOS.
- Arbitrary file-sharing between Mac and iOS. Dropbox is no longer necessary here ever since I've been running BTSync[0], which has worked flawlessly in my experience.
It might be time to cancel Dropbox entirely.
