Ask HN: Serious alternatives to dropbox that work like dropbox
So I started looking for alternatives. So any of them work with the local drive on your computer philosophy? I don't want to fire up and app and move files into it. That takes too long. I would like something like DropBox, that charges a fair price, gives you a fair amount of storage, and a fair amount of xfer. And ideally, in the web interface, a way to show how much has been xfered on a file so you can delete it if the URL leaks. Which was not the case for me, though somehow they claim sharing a link with my room mate, which was shared with no one else as it was a private picture she would be horrified if was shared.
How can a single jpg move GB of data in a day anyway, and how can it take them 10 days to enable my account and not reply in any sensical way to any of my questions on support.
Oh, and there is that issue of the Board members who shall not be named, and I believe a lack of local encryption before files are sent. Heck, they only recently turned on SSL for the app.
