Why do people continue to upload and trust their data to this company? I closed my Dropbox account back in 2011 when they had that 'bug' that made passwords for any account optional for four hours.

Since then they have had more security problems/breaches, and admitted to user info being stolen.

Today's news isn't anything concrete... but their moderators were jerks, which makes the company look bad whether they are employees or not.

What alternatives are there?

[ph33r]

Google Drive, SpiderOak, SugarSync, Skydrive, Amazon Cloud Drive, Box.net.

There is no Google Drive linux client yet =/. What about the others? I use Dropbox on Windows, Linux, Mac, Android and I have even used it on a personal server. I have not seen anything that can replace it.

Insync works great as a Linux client/integration for Google Drive: https://www.insynchq.com/linux

Which of these use client side encryption?

[danielsamuels]

There's always https://mega.co.nz/

Wuala.com does aswell (not mentioned in parent). They are a Swiss company and don't have a lot of traction in the US.

Spideroak does. Their GUI is really awful, but the commandline python script seems to work well.

[srdev]

SpiderOak claims to.

Why are you trusting any of them to do that anyway. Ecryptfs is your friend.

also, aerofs is pretty damn awesome. Just started using it the other week.
