The absolute state of Dropbox in 2019
Daniel White
Justin Powell
buy a vps
Jordan Ward
if you care about privacy use a home server or just ditch the cloud and use syncthing
Otherwise nextcloud is the next best thing. Some of their servers offer something like 10GB of storage
Mason Morgan
owncloud
Brody Jones
my own
hosted by myself
why the fuck are you storing your files in other people's computers you stupid nigger
Ethan Jones
Nextcloud

Because it's not sensitive data you fucking hypocrite who let other people store their data on your disc using cookies and temp folders
Levi Bailey
Google Drive with rclone, encrypted of course
Ian Hughes
>using cookies
>his browser and its data doesn't self-destruct after closing the window
lmaoing@u
Liam Rodriguez
not poorfag op
willing to pay
what recommendations of vps or service do you have that has relatively high capacity storage (500~1TB+)
Cooper Jones
mega.nz is comfy
Nicholas Sanchez
the problem with dropbox, like anything else, is they are subsidized by VC cash for far too long. and then they get aggressive trying to make money, which just pisses off all the users who flocked to them because they were sleek and useful at first.
expect it to get much worse as time goes on. then people will flock to a new service, and the cycle repeats.
>As of May 2018, Dropbox has never been profitable, but reports positive cash flow.
Evan Brown
Have fun with your data being handed over to the US
Bentley Miller
Get an educational account from your local CC and upload unlimited shit
Charles Morales
OP here: it would actually be an interesting option to create my own cloud hosting solution that works on mobile and desktop.
Jose Hall
No way these guys make any money.
Ryder Hill
Google Drive just werks
Jonathan Jackson
notifications are the new clippy
Kevin Kelly
What is the best VPS at the moment?
Colton Cruz
Source?
Robert Hughes
his ass.
everything on mega is encrypted by your key. if you lose your password, you lose your data.
Cameron Miller
Confirming it works. Running nextcloud for 2 years with multiple users.
Jordan Moore

My homeserver?
Dominic Turner
Why would you ever need dropbox in 2019? I haven't used any kind of file level cloud sync in years...
Ryder Gomez
Using a VPS for storage is shit, they have a bandwith limit of like 100gb usually, even the most dodgy "Pleaseeee use me" companies will have like 1tb at MOST. This sounds like a lot, but it isn't.
Plus you have to pay for "storage blocks" which costs about as much as any other online backup.
Then the storage is not automatically backed up (you'll have to pay for backups) and maintain the whole thing yourself.
Then worst of all, you don't have an easy to use app to share between all devices. Sure you could probably find something to use on the VPS with a web client, but fuck that.
And in the end you'll save fucking nothing, just get a home NAS if you want to be cheap, you'll get way better speeds, way better price & you won't be reliant on any specific company that could just delete all your shit if they feel like it.

>Then worst of all, you don't have an easy to use app to share between all devices.
That's the fun part, creating those apps
Nolan Jones
OneDrive, lol. it comes with Office + Skype calls.
Joke aside, I'd say Nextcloud / Syncthing maybe. But I wouldn't compromise on usability for just the sake of being free.
Yea, Dropbox is cancer.
- Remember when you could share direct HTTP links? I remember.
- Remember when the file history was a very compact, single-line HTML page that loaded very fast, and you could browse back ages? I remember.
- Remember when monthly subs didn't cost a fortune? I remember.
Dropbox has really went down the drain. Still have my father files there though, and man I am scared to migrate him over. He has the Packrat / grandfathered account even. So yea, one day. Hopefully. Until then I become poorer by the month.
Kevin Green
Dropbox has block-level copying and a client with good multithreading support. That makes them better than 99% of the competition by default.
Dominic Lee
This.
Self-hosted Nextcloud is the official Jow Forums answer.
Thomas Scott
Dumb idea, you're going to pay a LOT for a 1TB VPS
Dylan Reyes
nextcloud providers are some germoids
Isaiah Williams
What's your problem, nigger? I pay $100 @ yr for my Dropbox with 1 TB storage & got my files wherever I am. I upload all files already encrypted using GoodSync. It just werks.
Blake Parker
Unlimited Google Drive and 100+ MEGA accounts
Connor Baker
>paying money when you can self host
Kek, typical neo-Jow Forums consumerist drone. I have an 8TB RAID-1 at my leisure, which I can access free from around the globe.
John Ross

Implying profit equals cash.
>Got his CPA from a cornflake box.
Samuel Young
If I were to pay for something I would pay for more Google drive storage because I already use Google products.
Henry Phillips

Nigger.
>Want to know how many outages whe have in Zurich?
>Want to know how many times the internet is down in Zurich?
>Yes, I talk about Switzerland not Swaziland.
If your cleaning lady stumbles over the RAID power cord, you can forget your self hosting meme, niggerman.
