This is a bot! Flagged! OTOH Have you tried Google Drive?
- post_break 10y agoGoogle Drive does not run on windows. We need to quickly sync stuff between machines, capture revisions, all natively within windows. Thousands of files, daily.

- brianwawok 10y agoRuns on Linux too. I have it set up on my NAS backing up to the cloud. That said Google drive is missing some Dropbox features, but it meets my needs.

Now, I'm sure they won't pull the plug on Gmail anytime soon, but I'm not that sure about Drive. I realize the same can be said of Dropbox as well. But like Gmail is to Google, cloud storage is to Dropbox.
