Thanks for the link, it was really enlightening read. It is interesting to read the elaborated comments of some naysayers there who are stuck in their old ways and can't see the value of it yet.
One of them describes his solution with FUSE and FTP that 'basically achieves the same' and has doubts that anyone would want to use Dropbox if they can use FTP.
Same stuff surely happens here today.
- mattmanser 9y agoThough most of the comments are positive, it's only really BrandonM's comment which looks silly in hindsight. Quite a few valid questions and thoughts too, where is this stored, how are you handling locked down corp accounts, etc. It's a pity they hide the vote numbers these days.
- chii 9y ago> Quite a few valid questions and thoughts too all of which are "merely" implementation details and polish. The analogy is that you've built a crude engine that can sit on a box in an axel to move rather than using an animal, but the nay-sayers ask how do you deal with the bad weather/water, and how do you brake and turn smoothly? The idea is fundamentally good, and it takes someone with vision to see through the smog of implementation details and problems.
- kobeya 9y agoI still don't see the value of it...
- amelius 9y agoI believe the naysayers will be right at some point. Cloud storage is really a race to the bottom.
