If you go with dropbox, you may find yourself creating an awful lot of symlinks to get everything you want synchronized. I personally prefer SpiderOak; same basic idea, but a lot more customizeable. They claim client side encryption with no keys stored on the server; the codebase is not open source so it's hard to tell for sure, but they talk a better talk than DropBox. [Full disclosure; I have a spideroak account, and if you want to try them, I'd be happy if you'd use this referral link https://spideroak.com/download/referral/a2c5a8d4bd5bfb6b748c0a912cd30aeb ; it's an extra 1GB for each of us . Note that their normal free accounts start at 2GB, but I'm pretty sure that either "worldbackupday" or "hurricanesafe" are still valid coupons for 5GB (or 6GB if you use the referral link] -- Mike _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
