Another centralized service, sadly. I've decided that whenever possible, I will seek out decentralized solutions instead.
Looking for a decentralized, peer-to-peer file sharing and synchronization solution? I've been using BitTorrent Sync as a replacement for Dropbox, and so far I've been very pleased with it. Unlimited storage, no 3rd-party servers involved, and less CPU usage and UI lag than Dropbox. Did I mention that it's free?

- edvinbesic 13y agoThe centralized bit is only for managing your contacts though right? The data would be peer-to-peer unlike Dropbox. Genuine question, but what are the security implications for this other then being able to see who you have as your contacts? Or is your preference of decentralized simply because you do not want to rely on a third party staying up and running?
