Yep, dropped Dropbox for SpiderOak ages ago due to a number of really poor security failings on Dropbox's part. (Remember the day they accidentally allowed blank passwords to login to anyones account?)


I dropped Dropbox because Google Drive simply offered a better product in general for cheaper.

Dropbox is probably the LEAST feature-rich and mid-range to high in the cost part , compared to all the other file sharing services out there.


Dropbox's strength is the simple and consistent GUI that's available in all platforms (desktop, mobile and web). I've moved to SpiderOak and it works perfectly for me, but it's not a UI I would recommend to my mother.


I did the same when that incident happened.


When was that?


Had to look through my emails but it looks like it was in June of 2011.
