Wow, this is some intense FUD.
They criticize Dropbox for relying on S3 for data storage and Amazon for hosting, and using deduplication.
"Does Dropbox store multiple copies of every file?
Unknown. Dropbox doesn't state whether they keep multiple copies or not. But, we do know that Amazon charges less for 'reduced redundancy'. It is unclear if Dropbox stores more than one copy of your files."
Anyone able to figure out who made this? It seems way too blatant and amateurish to be a competitor, but I don't know who else would have the motivation. WHOIS is private, and the FaceBook page didn't give me any yields either.
There are legitimate reasons not to use Dropbox, but this is just a terrible attempt to spread panic.
