Is Dropbox particularly complicated? From the pricing page it appears to cost $35/month for the cheapest plan - $10 for Standard+ and an additional $25 for Gateway. Is there a big market of people paying $420/year to access their Dropbox account?
But rest assured, "Couchdrop Standard+ is almost the cost of a coffee every month." That's some expensive coffee, but how is coffee related to this?
- saurik 7y agoDropbox requires all of your data to be synchronized to the local computer, which an SMB gateway to the service would not require (and makes the idea of a service like Dropbox infinitely more interesting to me, not that I would ever want to use some random third-party hosted "gateway" unless it came from someone like Microsoft or Amazon).
