Unfortunately I had the same experience when I evaluated it a couple of years ago. You should check Wuala: while still not perfect (the client is closed source and java) the user experience has been pretty much as smooth as Dropbox'.
- kijin 13y agoBeen there, done that. I liked Wuala even less because its UI is not a reliable indicator of what it is doing at any given moment. For example, the upload/download queues would often be empty, even when Wuala is clearly transferring files in the background. A folder would show a green check mark, indicating "fully synched", but it would have a subfolder that isn't quite finished. Inconsistencies like that made me give up on Wuala. If a program is going to be as slow as molasses, that's fine. Client-side encryption means that a lot of things that Dropbox does on their servers need to be done on my low-powered devices instead, so I can tolerate it to some extent. But at least I'd like to see exactly what's taking so long. </rant>
