| Online Storage... Ryan, Do you have comments on the other 'flavors' of cloud storage???? Just wondering....Thanks for what you've submitted so far...has me thinking about more than Dropbox...
Speaking of DB...I started using it because of the tie-in with transferring URL's from my smartphone to a Google Chrome browser so I could read the durn pages without squinting...Phone-to-Chrome was the app. Then I discovered how nice it was to have a way to move files from the desktop to the phone and to have the files available at any desktop I use...hmmm This is nice... Now I've used it to allow friends and co-workers to share files I've created for my jobs...
It works well for me... |

Brooklyn, NY | If I were you, I'd delete all my files from dropbox and close my account.
If you don't remember, Dropbox lied to their users about Dropbox's ability to read users' files. They have one of the worst security track records.

Just look at the last paragraph of their recent blog post »eranki.tumblr.com/post/270764318···x-part-1.
They are recommending that a company should evaluate what's more important: user's privacy/security VS negative PR one will get from not doing proper security.
If they are recommending it in their blog post, that means they are doing it internally. Who knows where else they cut security corners.

So do you read the things you post or just post them without thinking?
The last one you posted is not a Dropbox blog, their blog is on their site.
It is from a former employee who as a programmer points out that the more security you add, the more inconvenient it becomes for the user.
You need to brush up on your reading comprehension skills because nothing you mentioned was in that article. |

Brooklyn, NY | So by your understanding "Head of Server Engineering" is "a programmer", eh?
Ok master of English language, if you say so.

So you consider posts from former employees to be official Dropbox posts?
Ok, Mr. Failure at Reading Comprehension, if you say so. |
