Do I have any friends on here using Sync (i.e., sync.com, the Canadian Dropbox alternative) who can tell me about how well it works? In any case, I think I’ll sign up for a free plan and see how it goes. I’d love to get off #Dropbox.
Continued thread
One of the features I really like that differentiates Sync from OneDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox is their use of "zero-knowledge" authentication: they don't store your encryption key and cannot decrypt your files without your knowledge.
This policy does add some processing overhead. Years ago, I sometimes found file synchronization slow. But these days, I find it works transparently in the background as it should.

Don't know where to host your files in Europe? You can create an account at #pCloud (located in Switzerland) and benefit from up to 10 GB and more of a service that promises.
If you create it from the link below, you'll be helping me by adding 1 GB to my account and then you can do the same for yourself.
Apps are offered for Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS and Android.
Number of screens to jump through to cancel a #dropbox plan? something like 4, good gosh. dark patterns galore.
Many thanks to all those of you who replied to my question about Dropbox alternatives recently.
Many of you suggested Nextcloud, and having played around with it for a bit, I think it will do nicely.
So I am now embarking on the surprisingly complex project of moving everything I had in Dropbox to Nextcloud.
Thanks also to whoever it was who suggested Hetzner for hosting Nextcloud, which seems to work nicely.
Reducing my dependence on US tech, one service at a time.
Good news stalkers and criminals! #Dropbox is discontinuing their Vault feature that provides an additional password to access sensitive files, so in exactly one week all of people's nudes and financial documents are going to be dumped into a regular unlocked dropbox folder, for anyone with access to their computer to view and copy!

Those Dropbox finder 
icon adornments give me a fuzzy feeling. Glad to be back on Dropbox.
Still 21,000+ files to upload. But at least you have a view of thst with Dropbox. And uploads are quick.
Je suis à la recherche d’une alternative à #Dropbox. Impératif: Elle doit être accessible avec #NVDA et #VoiceOver sur mon #Iphone. Évidemment, je souhaite que mes données soit hébergées en Europe ou mieux en France. Merci d’avance pour vos idées! #cloud #rGpD #accessibilité #NvDA #VoiceOver
So, given that the US is rapidly turning to shit, and that Dropbox is a US company, should I be worried that I'm keeping a lot of my data on Dropbox?
And if so, what's a good non-US alternative?
Needs to sync from a Linux desktop and a headless Linux server, have an Android app, and, ideally, an API.
Does pCloud do all those things?
Can anyone recommend an alternative to #Dropbox for an individual using it for storing and syncing files? Of the alternatives listed here, I've only heard of NextCloud and don't like what I know about it. https://european-alternatives.eu/alternative-to/Dropbox
@Diziet Any suggestions?
Pro tip: do not show popups AFTER I clicked the button. I can see for myself what it does now

Hey @gutenberg_org
don't you think @nextcloud would be much better than #dropbox #googledrive and #microsoft cloud solutions?
PSA: If you have #Dropbox, don't forget to clean out old connected apps that you're no longer using!

If you were in the #Dropbox #layoff today (or just otherwise on the #jobhunt):
I’m currently #hiring a Sr. Software Engineer with a strong focus on #Golang/Containerization and several engineers with #DevRel experience. All are remote positions within Americas time zones.

Um... #Dropbox... When did it implement this scheme to make me upgrade to a paid tier even though I have enough free storage? Keeping downloaded files on your #iPhone now requires an upgrade. Don't recollect it did before. At least #iCloud fixed that issue. No relying on Dropbox for all my documents anymore, I guess. But they don't care, since Dropbox is not monetizing me like iCloud is. Guess #Apple wins and gets my coin.
