Webapp keeps nagging me about upgrading, even though I'm literally using less than 5% of my (paid) plan. I tried doing stuff with Smart Sync (or Selective Sync?) but got lost in the complex matrix of which feature does what on what OS with what plan. Time sensitive file accessing got harder and harder because of continuous UI changes. "Checking for changes" on my old shitty VAIO running Ubuntu went from taking 5 minutes to taking half an hour to taking 3 hours and never finishing syncing.


I always thought of Dropbox quite UNIX-like in a sense, do one thing, but really well.Īnd then things just kept getting worse. Synced my configs between machines, got an Android app which could preview lot's of filetypes, rarely thinking about the whole thing. So I sat down one afternoon, drafted a directory structure, subbed to Dropbox and.it worked so well. I struggled with file management for a long time - balancing accessibility from phone, highly effective programming environments, backing up large quantities of not-small photos, that stuff. Dropbox current direction just makes me sad.
