I, too, am paying for a large Dropbox account, but here are a couple things I don't like about it.
1. I use it to share the development of a lot of projects. But if one of the team members deletes a file, it is deleted for all of us. Hey, let me manange MY file system, please. 2. There is a tool called Packrat, which allows one to recover deleted files, but since I don't have to use it every day (gracias a dios), I can never remember how to open up good ol' Packrat. All DropBox would have to do is put a button/icon on my homepage and let me dive in. Or down. 3. One can't share individual files, but only complete folders. That, too, is less than ideal. So like Russ, I'll go ahead and install the Amazon tool and give it a test drive. -tj On Wed, Apr 3, 2013 at 2:50 PM, Russ Abbott <russ.abb...@gmail.com> wrote: > Matthew Yglasias has a > piece<http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2013/04/03/dropbox_vs_amazon_nobody_can_compete_with_jeff_bezos.html?wpisrc=newsletter_myslate> > on > Slate about Amazon's new cloud storage service and how it's likely to kill > Dropbox.
