What concerns me more about Dropbox is this practice of giving away space -- but only for a limited amount of time. I bought some products and got a huge amount of space, but only for a year or two.
Now what the hell am I going to do two years later? Download 100GB over my satellite connection? They've effectively trapped me into doing business with them. That's the kind of thing I find much more objectionable than keeping a roster of who plays on which team in SV.
This is my biggest issue with them, once you get past the privacy issues. I have a 500GB colocated file server that I can use OwnCloud, rsync, btsync, etc. on once my 30GB of "free" Dropbox space runs out. I've already got it all backed up to that server anyway using rsync. Now I just have to figure out which sync method works across all of my devices (GNU/Linux, Windows, Windows Phone, Android, OS X).
