My first impulse was to move away from everything google. I don‘t know much about any wrong-doings of Dropbox. Maybe I need to do some research.

  This did it for me: https://www.drop-dropbox.com/ https://www.drop-dropbox.com/ But if it hadn't, then probably this: https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/sync-uploads/filesystem-integration https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/sync-uploads/... Dropbox was such a great and conceptually simple tool, having a kernel extension for smarter syncing feels like a step into Enterprise lala land.

      Of particular interest, if you're someone who's ditching Google services out of concern about privacy issues, is that Condoleezza Rice voiced support for warrantless wiretaps during Bush Jr's administration, and was also involved (to what degree is debatable) with the authorization to use "enhanced interrogation techniques" (aka torture). Whatever you personally think about these issues, if you're concerned about privacy, that she is in Dropbox's board of directors should be a big red flag.

        Agreed, 100%. I also wondered why she dropped out of public for a while, for current events.

  Their board list probably has some good hints.
