I gave up on Dropbox long time ago. Maybe I am wrong, but with data loss and other issues, especially limit on space, I found BTSync better suited for my needs. It's been working for years now.
I think Dropbox could've innovated much more then they did, to make their offering more compelling to guys like me. They didn't and that is unfortunate. I think they feel pressured now but it might be a little late and their solutions are kind of artificial and inspired by others... (paper for example)
- rckclmbr 10y agoFellow BTSync (now Resilio Sync) user. Lately, even its mobile clients feel superior to Dropbox. I have a "master" computer that has everything synced to it, then use backblaze to back up everything offsite (it stores historical files/edits as well). I'm 100% satisfied.
- danieldk 10y agoI currently use both, but I am thinking of switching fully to Resilio Sync. Given Dropbox disregard for proper security, I don't want them to run in kernel space (via a kext). The only downside of Resilio Sync is that the sharing story is not yet great.
- desireco42 10y agoI've been using it for at least 2 yrs if not more now. Zero issues. Well, once I deleted files in misguided effort to move them. They were deleted from all machines :). It wasn't a big deal, it just shows it works.
