Been using dropbox for awhile. Well, after this news I started looking for an alternative. My business partner found Bittorrent Sync. Been trying it out. So far = awesome!!! I'm cancelling dropbox right now. I hope they ask why so I can tell them they suck.

Bump for bittorrent sync. I've been very happy with it as well.

It's not cloud storage but as long as you keep one of your computers running, it does exactly the same thing as dropbox only...

- its free
- its faster
- it allows more control over syncing
- it allows for the use of secure keys for sharing files

There's also a potentially significant security benefit to Bittorrent Sync, because you're the only one with a copy of the files. That's a big deal if you don't like the NSA requisitioning dropbox for your data. There's a caveat though, in that its not open source yet. Such as it is, we're still encrypting sensitive data before it gets synced, but BTsync is a big step in the right direction.

You guys really need to check out copy.com (see my link in my sig.)

Copy is owned by barracuda networks and for whatever reason, they are building a customer base strictly by word of mouth.

The great news is your free account gets 15GB, sign up through a ref link, you get +5 GB and you get an additional +5 GB for each referral you make and there is no referral cap.

This post was originally about Dropbox accepting bitcoins. I did send in a support ticket to Copy about accepting Bitcoins, the tech person liked the idea but, of course, had to forward it along to accounting.

That doesn't mean anything but if enough people request bitcoin payments, I think we may have a chance with copy. I've really been happy with their services. They seem like a DB clone in all ways, except that they offer more free space.

Give them a try and if you like them, let's see if we can get them to accept bitcoins!

I am very disappointed of Dropbox that they removed Votebox as the Bitcoin request came on the 1. place.

What about http://www.opendrive.com ?
They have very good reviews.
They give for 10 $/mo 500Gb, 2 user acc, Webdav in a customized acc. (13$ unlimited space for 1 acc)
Dropbox gives for the same money(10$) 100 Gb, 1 user acc and NO Webdav, other features like security, share options and easy use are similar.
As I see payed features are much better by Opendrive but free acc is better by Dropbox.
Let us ask Opendrive to accept Bitcoins as payment and if they accept then move there.

Perhaps another competitor will accept bitcoin and put dropbox out of business as bitcoin usage grows.

I would be more than happy is Bitcoin is more widely used. But I have no plan in paying something to Dropbox, perhaps another alternative? Grin

There must be someone trying to fill the demand. Would be nice:

1. Pay with Bitcoin
2. Client-side encryption
3. Same local-copy / server-copy file system that Dropbox uses
4. iOS / Android apps

what about mega? they're missing #3 though :<

mega or any other shares like mega! *debrid

There isn't anyone left that really believes this is going to happen, right?

Quoted to have a good laugh if when it's there.

It will be at least several more months from now, or even several years if the folks at Dropbox are really stupid. But it's going to happen. ← Feel free to quote this too.

Sure and I really believe Dropbox is going to start Audiogalaxy back up any day now.

Oh, I believe in Leprechauns too. lol

That wasn't predictable at all. rofl

The revolution will be monetized!

That's F-ing bull!
Mark my words, I will never pay for dropbox.
Anyone know of a cloud-host that accepts bitcoin? Because dropbox just became myspace.
