Well they have me because Google Sync doesn't seem to work half of the time and/or takes forever to sync on all of my devices, and OneDrive and iCloud don't have clients on Linux (really?)
- vanous 9y agoWhat sync do you use on Linux then? I am moving over from the Goog to mega. Full Linux support, 50GB, TNO.
- askvictor 9y agoInsync is one option (you do have to pay though) that works much like Google's client; there are other command line options too.
- ferdbold 9y agoI use Dropbox, but I might switch to Mega in the near future. The better storage capacity and leaner UI speaks to me. I haven't had any issues with the sync client so far either, though I've only tried it on Windows.
- whipoodle 9y agoIt’s so bad. My work just switched to Google from Dropbox and it performs much worse. Also everything about the client and the product just screams that Google doesn’t give a crap about it.
- distances 9y agoYes, Google Drive is the butt of many jokes in our company too. The main reason we're using it is because Dropbox is prohibitively expensive.
- rodgerd 9y agoI'm sure not having clients on < 5% of the desktop market will cause Microsoft to become non-viable any day now.
- rangibaby 9y agoI think it is this kind of attitude that made them miss the boat on mobile
- rodgerd 9y agoYou mean the boat where I can get Office etc on Android and iOS?
- rangibaby 9y agoIn a way yes. If you told people 20 or 10 years ago that in 2017 Apple would be #1 company in the world and have the browser with the second most users (with the first NOT being IE) people would laugh at you.
- slededit 9y agoTo be pedantic you mean the POSIX userland. Office (including its OneDrive integration) does ship on Linux, albeit under the Android userland which doesn't help you if you want to run Ubuntu.
