Dropbox accesses all the files in your PC?
Independently of whether DB reads/uploads all the files or not, I've arrived at a difficult position about Dropbox: I'm looking for alternatives. No, it's unrelated with politics or pricing; it's just that in many cases <i>Dropbox sucks</i>.<p>Why? Well, I mostly don't care about all the new features (mobile, Carousel, etc.). What I care the most is that i) it syncs files and ii) acts as a quasi-backup. However, I see the same old bugs from <i>years</i> ago and nothing gets done. To name just a few:<p>- If I copy a file to the Dropbox folder in Windows, it will convert it to small caps, even if the file is in Camel Case. Yes, I get that for windows caps are just "optional", but do not change it just for the sake of it!<p>- Many people sometimes have temporary files. Photoshop, Matlab, Word, Latex, etc. leave crumbles of temp files and folders. Can't I just set a quick rule to avoid "tmp" folders and e.g. ".tmp" files?<p>- A few months ago their forums went down and stayed down for around a month? Why? Technical problems. But the real reason is that they don't really care.<p>There is no way DB can justify their valuation with just the syncing part, and I'm fine with that. But just stopping altogether to improve in that area <i>is</i> a huge turn-off, and on top of that they do not care to fix bugs (there were hundreds of bug requests about the lowercase bug in the forums, before they deleted it).<p>Now that my rant is over, I ask you: are there any useful alternatives? I've heard that GDrive is very slow and the MSFT alternative seems a bit risky to me (will it work on Linux in the future? will it be customizable?).
