- cjbarber 13y agoInteresting! Let me refer you to the second highest comment on Dropbox's original HN posting: > I have a few qualms with this app: > 1. For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software.
- patrickmclaren 13y agoOkay, I see your point. However, I've never used Dropbox, I use git-annex as a better solution to the problem. Likewise, I would still use procmail, or maildrop in this situation. This is mainly due to the fact that these solutions are much more reliable than those offered. Unfortunately, this doesn't stop people from using them in mission critical situations, to their downfall.
