What? Dropbox literally advertises themselves as a backup solution.
- mikeash 14y agoYes, and we can always trust advertisements to be truthful.... If you accidentally delete a file in Dropbox on one computer, Dropbox will helpfully and immediately propagate that deletion to all of your other computers. It can be used for backup, but it's not very good at it.
- ryguytilidie 14y agoIt strikes me as unfair to say "sure the company advertises that they can perform function x, but trusting them to actually do that makes no sense." I don't have any objection to dropbox not being a good backup solution, but I do have an objection to them advertising themselves as a good backup solution when they are not.
