Annoying. I was happy paying $100/yr for Dropbox to store my photos along with a few extra files. The photo features weren't great, but good enough for basic browsing through galleries. I bought into the idea that if I was paying for the storage it would be more durable and permanent than some fly-by-night photo startup or google/amazon feature. I realize the photos aren't going anywhere, but my use case is. Canceling my subscription to Dropbox... now.
- nnutter 9y agoDropbox only dabbled in photos. Despite my desire to support Dropbox both because they pioneered the online synced folder and because they supported Linux I ended up paying Google because Google Photos came out of the gate way ahead of Dropbox’s languishing attempts at photo management/sharing and Google Photos has kept a strong pace.
- Paul-ish 9y agoHow do you sync from Linux?
- tomrod 9y agoThey provide an installation method. For servers, you can just run the daemon. For desktop, Nautilus is supported (or you can just run the daemon!). https://www.dropbox.com/install-linux https://www.dropbox.com/install-linux
- nnutter 9y agoFor Dropbox? You install the official Linux client. For Google? There are third-party sync products and Gnome can mount it as a network drive but I didn’t mean to imply that I did; I don’t sync Google Drive with Linux.
