Dropbox Question

[dewline]

Anyone else using that site these days? I'm considering dropping my account. (Pun not intended, but I'm going to allow it to stand anyway.)

Yeah, kinda', sorta'.

I'll look again; as I recall my work phone filled the one account with photos and I hadn't figured out how to nuke them.

I have used it to pass files along to friends and project partners, but have let my account stand idle for a year or two now. I'm thinking that, with other tools now available to me for similar purposes, the account's become redundant.

I suspect they have been impacted by GoogleDrive, Azure and even OwnCloud on the personal side; it does look like the business side may be healthy:

So they can probably find a way to survive without me as a user at this point. Reassuring, after a fashion.

Ha! Yeah, I was going for, "Your data is likely safe" over, "just a grain of sand on the beach of life".
