- kijin 15y agoI've been using SpiderOak since Dropbox's misleading-advertising-about-encryption fiasco. SpiderOak is rock stable, supports full client-side encryption, offers cheaper plans, and I also got the 50% educational discount. But the sync functionality is slow as molasses. When I log into either my desktop or my laptop, it takes several minutes before SpiderOak will actually sync any files. This gets frustrating after a while, so I sometimes just whip out a USB stick to copy the files I'd been working on. A few weeks ago I added my VPS to my SpiderOak account. It took almost an hour for initial sync to complete, despite the fact that there was nothing to sync. Dropbox, on the other hand, only takes as much time as it takes to transfer the actual file(s) back and forth. It doesn't even seem to scan the Dropbox folder for changes, or if it does, it's very quick. I can't imagine how they're doing this, but if Dropbox can do this, why can't SpiderOak?
