What do you think of Mega? [1]. I switched from Dropbox to Mega because of that same pricing issue. I'm not a power user but it certainly works well for syncing files and photos across by Linux and Android devices.

- coolspot 9y agoMega is awesome and also end-to-end encrypted.
- user5994461 9y agoMega is the second iteration of megaupload, funded by piracy and shut down by the FBI some years ago. The founder is shady and has under many ongoing trials and extraditions claims. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Dotcom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Dotcom Seriously. Don't hold your personal files on mega. They can be shut down any minute and delete all your data. That's what happened last time. Dropbox is a respectable business. It's not comparable.
- geomark 9y agoI'm more inclined to go with Mega because of Kim Dotcom than I am to use Dropbox with Condoleezza Rice on its board.
- coolspot 9y agoAFAIK mega.nz was founded by Kim, but later bought out by investors. It is fully laws and DMCA compliant. It is not about piracy anymore.
- user5994461 9y agoIt's as compliant as megaupload was. Don't get it wrong, the vast majority of the traffic is piracy.
- therealdrag0 9y agoAll my data is also on my computer (and delayed on an external backup). Would be a crazy coincidence for Mega and my laptop to get deleted at same time.
