Yes, absolutely. But that is a significantly greater requirement, each end user or workgroup running their own server. I'm not sure why I'm getting downvoted for pointing that out. It's not an apples-to-apples replacement.
This + a hosting provider would be more like an actual Dropbox replacement (e.g. owncloud.org links to a bunch of hosts).
- pessimizer 13y agoThat's not what I'm looking for. I do have a computer at home that is always on. edit: Do people generally still turn off their home computers? edit2: After thinking about it - what you seem to be describing is an alternative and not just a replacement. I want to replace the service that Dropbox offers with one of my own, I don't want to switch to an alternative Dropbox clone service.
