I remember reading this comment at that point. I totally agreed w/ the author, at least on point number one. A lot of us here where already paying for web hosting and using FTP clients to upload our files and like mentioned Linux, which had the time meant Ubuntu for most of us had it so nicely integrated into the file system. In someways we/Ubuntu were just ahead of the OneDrive. Honestly the only difference between OneDrive and the aforementioned setup at the time was it required you put in a host, username and password to set it up.

- talldayo 2y agoFor enterprise customers, this is an entirely fair objection. You could do this, and many places do. The companies I've worked for use NAS a lot more than they use Dropbox, I can tell you that much for sure in 2024.

- isbvhodnvemrwvn 2y agoHow about all the Dropbox competitors/clones such as OneDrive?
- talldayo 2y agoOneDrive fucking sucks. If they didn't advertise it constantly through Windows I don't think anyone would know it exists. Google Drive gets used sometimes, but only slightly more frequently than Dropbox. In SOC2 compliant orgs it's really not very common to store your files with BigCorp. At least, it's one of the no-nos they try to impress on you pretty early.
