- icebraining 14y agoYou can have that with any provider: just don't delete the data after you've uploaded it.
- shurcooL 14y agoNot true, you're forgetting about automatic synchronization. With Dropbox, I only have to worry about maintaining one place, the Dropbox. It syncs across all my devices. Without that, I'd have to sync files manually whenever I delete/rename/change them... I hope you see that it's not the same.
- icebraining 14y agoI never claimed the services are equivalent, just that you don't need Dropbox to have a local backup of the files.
