Wow, this is literally the first time I've ever heard of Dropbox actively losing data. Not that this is especially helpful, but were the files at least available inside the Dropbox web UI?
For what it's worth, I've been using the 0.7x series with several small-to-medium-sized Git repositories (over a quarter-million files/directories) with no ill effects to speak of beyond Dropbox taking a while to initialize.
Of course the repositories themselves have several copies on the various developer machines and GitHub, and I keep a Time Machine volume handy as a backup.
- sjs 16y agoWe were abusing Dropbox beyond belief at that company. We had a single account w/ 50GB and there were about 5 of us sharing the single account, updating it simultaneously. Dropbox was simply never meant for that. Now that I think about it, $HOME in Dropbox might be ok since (presumably) there'd only be one person using it at any given time.
