Subject: Re: Dropbox substitute
Hi:
Actually, Google Drive gives you 15 gigabytes of Free storage, which
is more than Dropbox gives you. The only caution about Google Drives
is that the 15 gigabytes of free storage is shared among all your
google services for that account. So suppose you use Gmail on that
account, then the amount of storage you use for your gmail is taken
from the 15 gigs, which means you will have less than 15 gigs for your
Google Drive, which is still better than Drop Box gives you. Also, as
you may or may not know, Dropbox has changed their interface lately
and, guess what, they maid it somewhat inaccessible.
Mark, from GW Micro has written them about the accessibility problems
and their response seems to indicate that they might not care as much
as we would like them to.
I've just started playing with Google Drive, but I haven't seen any
major accessibility problems with it.

You guys are all providing a lot of useful information, but at least in
my
case, Dropbox is being used only to a
minor degree as a backup service. It is being used to automatically make
certain files available on all of my
machines, and it is free. I mentioned that I was having the trouble with
Dropbox on only one machine, but it
appears that only the problem machine is running version 2.4.5 of
Dropbox.
The other machines are running an
earlier version. It seems from other comments that this is not an issue
with virus protection as I had thought
was possibly the case originally.

Another option is to get two external hard drives and a router with a
USB port that allows you to set up an FTP service. The Asus router is
one such example. And I find the interface works well with WE.
Get a safety deposit box and once a week or once a month swap the drive
on your router with the one in the safety deposit box. The time you make
the exchange is whatever you can tolerate should one drive crash.
This gives you an FTP service to which you can control yourself as well
as access to it and an off site backup solution that doesn't cost very
much. If you already have a safety deposit box then the only additional
costs are up front to purchase the necessary hardware.
