As a consquence, I’m reviewing the core services I rely upon on a day-to-day basis. I’ve taken my time to read up on what’s going on and, last Sunday, finally felt I could write my response. My main concerns are around the NSA revelations.
So why have I just jumped ship to SpiderOak? The mobile apps are great and the pricing plans are reasonable. I’ve had zero user experience issues with Dropbox, finding it efficient and useful for when I want to share something while on-the-go. I even took Lifehacker’s advice a couple of years ago and made it, effectively, ‘My Documents’ if it was on my machine it was backed up to Dropbox’s servers. I’ve been a happy Dropbox user for years. The encryption key stays on the user’s machine so SpiderOak employees (or anyone else) can’t get access to your files. SpiderOak not only encrypts files in transit, but on their servers.
TL DR version: I’m moving from Dropbox to SpiderOak for file sync/backup. I’m now using a combination of Dropbox (shared, work stuff) and Bittorrent Sync (everything else). Update: Since writing this post I’ve moved on.
