Well, OK. The fact that it doesn't solve any problems for you has little bearing on the excitement of those who, like me, find that it solves many of their problems.
The reason that storing files on their server (and using their bandwidth, as well as yours) is important is that it means I don't have to keep all my synced computers on at all times. That's a big deal for me.
It sounds like yours is another problem, which Dropbox is not well adapted to. Perhaps you'd be better off with PowerFolder or similar.
- JoeAltmaier 14y agoJust posting my experience, like others here do all the time. Another example is instructive. My problem is, Dropbox scales the cost as the number of people looking at a folder increases. As an Engineer I see that as marketing, their cost doesn't increase incrementally in this case. It seems unnecessary and blocks me. Btw you would only have to keep 1 synced computer on, some of the time. Not a big deal actually. And why keep my data around on their server after we're synced? Simpler for them I suppose, but insecure for me. I could try and get everybody in the club to install another tool; might look into that, thx.
