Comments on: DropBox - The Best Cross-Platform Folder Sync http://taozero.com/technology/dropbox-the-best-cross-platform-folder-sync/ Gadgets, Media and Technology Sat, 31 Jul 2010 03:09:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Brendan Orr http://taozero.com/technology/dropbox-the-best-cross-platform-folder-sync/#comment-270 Brendan Orr Wed, 20 Jan 2010 02:02:20 +0000 http://taozero.com/technology/dropbox-the-best-cross-platform-folder-sync/#comment-270 I've been using Dropbox on both my Mac box and my fiance's Linux Dell Mini9. I've got our desktops symlinked so we save stuff to it and work in tandem while on the phone at our own places. I, too, would hope for bidirectional functionality on the iPhone app, as well as a way to save at least the pictures to the camera-roll (instead of logging on to the website). Another selling point for me is the 30 days of revisions that it keeps on all files. That feature alone is worth the subscription fee (a deeply forgiving and unlimited-by-size undelete? for this clutz it is!) The service is fast too. I noticed while updating a video (185MB, I think) it was transferring it as it was recieving it as if sent through 'tee'. Also if you have quite a few friends, the referral bonus (250 MB up to 3GB) is nice too. Though I will probably just stick to the free service for now. Should I need more space, I'll just utilize my CrashPlan account. --Brendan I’ve been using Dropbox on both my Mac box and my fiance’s Linux Dell Mini9.

Your signature in the end is beautiful, yet feels out of place. It gives the feeling of an open letter to "DropBox", but the post isn't phrased that way. The suggestion for the iPhone app is dead on, and I hope someone picks up on that. Keep on the good work. Very nicely written.
