I don't know about your particular complaints, but I recently went looking for an alternative to Dropbox because they've made it impossible to share files without exposing your real name to the people accessing them, which is a non-starter for at least one of my use cases.

I settled on Box and so far I'm quite satisfied.

Does box have a local drive filesystem like dropbox? It looked like you had to fire up an app every time you wanted to use it for every youtube video I was looking at.

Hesitant to install all these as tests since they seem to litter my system with some rather deep stuff, that not done right, can and will eventually cause you trouble.

Anyone know of a simple way to just mount Amazon S3 as a drive? Or is that not possible with the way they name folders having to be globally unique; unless that is only the top level, or in this case, the drive mount point name.
