I dropped my account due to lack of read/only file sharing capabilities.
- zzleeper 17y agoI'm an avid user.. but stuff like that is also hurting me..
- bshep 17y agoI should point out that read/only file sharing is the ONLY reason I left and I would come back if they added it. From the responses in the votebox it sounds like its not a priority for them, so thats why I left.
- jbert 17y ago> I'm an avid user.. but stuff like that is also hurting me.. Disclaimer: I work for http://www.humyo.com/ http://www.humyo.com/ Humyo is not as well-known as dropbox (especially in the US) but we have a significant userbase (>500k) and are I think fairly feature-rich. (e.g. We've got a number of the top-requested features on dropbox-votebox already implemented, have Zoho integration, versioning, recyclebin, WebDAV access). Have you considered and discounted us or have we not made ourselves known to you? There are two schools of thought - "more features == better" and "fewer features == better focus on important features == better". I'd appreciate others' thoughts on this. Is the humyo featureset: 'good' or 'too confusing'? (or is there some other turn-off on the humyo site/signup process)? (I've held off commenting on other dropbox threads since I don't want to spam HN with what might be seen as an advert, but since this sub-thread is about featureset I'm interested in the comparison.)
- Timothee 17y agoWhat are you using instead? I could use read-only sharing permissions as well. It would avoid me situations where my boss moves files on his desktop away from Dropbox or add a full application to a shared folder…
