potential to use this instead of a dropbox account? the code could be substantially easier to write.

- etherealG 17y agono worries, going to start hacking at it shortly. I'll keep you posted :)
- PStamatiou 17y agoThat was my absolute first thought.. While I love dropbox, the team, and enjoy reading about their immense success, the security nerd in me demands that everything I put my data on is "mine" for more or less the definition that while I might not own the servers or disks, I have a great level of access to them. I wrote about that in regards to dropbox in 2008: http://paulstamatiou.com/thoughts-on-dropbox http://paulstamatiou.com/thoughts-on-dropbox "Use my own S3 account – I would pay a lot to have the ability to store my data in my own S3 account. I realize part of Dropbox’s business plan likely revolves around charging for storage, but I propose they offer a high-end account where I just pay $30/month for the use of their API to power file revisions, the web interface and all of that, all-the-while being stored on my own S3 account." Of course that point is now moot if I can get the file versions natively with S3.
