Do you not see how useful it would be for the client-side to be open source? Most of Dropbox's value lies in their servers, especially the web interface, but they've stumbled a bit on the client-side.
- unalone 17y agoHow so? It's a folder that syncs. I can't think of how to improve that. Perhaps add versioning? But that's not exactly an essential.
- cschep 17y agoThe one thing I want is to be able to turn certain folders off/on depending on the machine.
- newsdog 17y agoI agree - it also syncs certain files I don't want synced - like log files.
- cschep 17y agoyes! .dropboxignore please!
- 83457 17y agoThis is the only feature at the moment that i need which dropbox is lacking. Makes it difficult to use Dropbox in more than one environment such as work versus school when everything is synced everywhere.
- mtrichardson 17y agoMaybe make it so certain clients don't take up the entirety of your CPU while they try to add bits onto the icons of the files themselves...
- palish 17y agoBeen using Dropbox since beta. Never had this problem (XP and Vista 32-bit).
- jmintz 17y agoI would love to be able to leave some folders in the cloud on some machines. My laptop has a small hdd... Overall I love Dropbox, but I am confident it can and will improve.
- ja27 17y agoCreate a second account just for the laptop and set up a shared folder between the two accounts. Put all the files you want on the laptop in the shared folder.
- tdavis 17y agoCustom ignore files, for one. I don't need it to sync .git, .swp, etc. It's an amazing service as-is, but it can be better (for power users, anyway).
