On Dropbox, the USB stick metaphor, & security
- Roridge 17y agoThis blog post is not considering the USB metaphor in context of Dropbox. You wouldn't install Dropbox on someone else's computer just to get a couple of files. You would go online log into your Dropbox and get them from there.
- fjabre 17y agoGood point. It's just that Dropbox becomes a little like Mozy then. The whole charm of Dropbox for me is interacting natively with the file system instead of having to log into a website and click around..
- Roridge 17y agosure, I understand what you mean. But surely no one would really install and sync a 50GB Dropbox on someone else's computer? The web front end allows you to have the best of both worlds.
