Similar thing happened at MPOW. We've been Dropbox for Business subscribers for several years and all of a sudden they informed us of some astronomical price increase. We're migrating everyone's data before the end of the year and moving to a locally hosted Seafile-based storage solution.
- GordonS 9y agoAnother Seafile user here, also moved from Dropbox. I moved before the big price hike, and I did so for a few reasons: 1. It kills machines on startup. My machine had the CPU and HDD maxxed out for 30 minutes every time I started it, rendering it unusable 2. You can only sync a single folder, which is really limiting 3. The syncing algorithm is crap (well, it was for me anyway) - I was constantly resolving conflicts incorrectly 4. Probably a continuation from point 2 - it actually deleted files it shouldn't have I'm mostly happy with Seafile. I've had a few issues from time to time with the Windows client, but overall a much better experience than with Dropbox.
- flurdy 9y ago> 2. You can only sync a single folder, which is really limiting That is easily worked around as Dropbox follows symlinks. E.g on my desktop ~/Dropbox is on a small SSD so on that machine ~/Dropbox/Photos is a symlink to a folder on my large capacity HDD. > 4. Perhaps you already aware of the symlink solution :) It works for me, but is a little hacky. And you need to make sure dropbox is not running when moving and soft linking folders.
