"Who's using Dropbox as a long-term backup strategy".
I am, and I'm guessing plenty of others are too.
Although I don't really use the revisions feature, so technically you're correct, I'd have no problem switching to a competitor. But it'll be really hard to compete with Dropbox, and for something so important to me, price isn't the most important issue.
- maximusprime 15y agoI don't see why it would be so hard to compete. Isn't dropbox a pretty simple thing? It's just storing your stuff, with some sync things etc. Seems like the barrier to entry is "Stores my files and doesn't lose them"?

You'd put your stuff in it. It would sync. They built that. Why didn't anyone else build that? I have no idea. http://www.quora.com/Dropbox/Why-is-Dropbox-more-popular-than-other-programs-with-similar-functionality/answer/Michael-Wolfe http://www.quora.com/Dropbox/Why-is-Dropbox-more-popular-tha...
