I've now moved away from DB for a couple of months.  Nothing is perfect, but OD is doing quite a good job, and it does all I need when managing offline files without any problems.  Go luck with the move, sma80.

I think it’s funny how this thread has now turned into a combination of a “Dropbox sucks support group” and a review of other cloud based storage options.

Hello Dropbox?! Are you even there?!

I’m sad. I used to be Dropbox’s biggest fan. My wife had the Pikachu face when I told her I was switching.

Well, with my plan coming up for renewal in a couple of weeks, I’ve now made the switch to Google Drive. Doesn’t have these ongoing sync issues...

...and I’m sure their Big Brother approach to monitoring will mean that they wouldn’t be as oblivious to the conversations that are happening about their products on their own forums!

Still going to keep my notifications to this thread on out of amusement
