I don't understand why they won't develop a client for Linux. Is it that difficult? Maybe the code could be also useful for Chrome OS and I guess many Googlers

I don't understand why they won't develop a client for Linux. Is it that difficult? Maybe the code could be also useful for Chrome OS and I guess many Googlers use Linux, so it would be useful for them too.
I stick with Dropbox for the Linux support. It is fantastic. It works on servers, with no GUI, so I can easily sync stuff from my Windows Laptop and my Linux server, where I perform scientific stuff.

- mark_l_watson 8y agoThis! Killer feature of Dropbox, being able to partially sync just the things you want on a Linux server and your laptop. I also pay for SpiderOak cloud storage but they don’t allow selective sync - you get everything mirrored on your laptop. That said, Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive are still useful on Linux laptops through the web app.
- lugg 8y agoLinux is something like 2% market share. We're also the only set of users that will actually saturate the oversold storage while still burning through that $2.50 worth of customer service with a single question prefaced with "hi, I run Linux."
