Several people mentioned this in forums, with a warning that it’s tricky to set up. So, that was out of the question to replace Dropbox for me. I chose to give OneDrive for Business a new chance in 2020. I’m still a little bit bitter for a mishap some years ago, with the NGSC hassle that ended up eating plenty of my files. OneDrive for Business, which is part of Office 365, is something I have installed as well. In researching for alternatives to Dropbox I knew I’d need a few crucial features: enough storage, data stored in EU and proper mobile apps. What better problem to solve than scratching my own itch? Alternatives to Dropbox Perhaps I have a little less trust with them now, and I was looking for a problem to solve. I needed to migrate my data away from Dropbox. Perhaps I’m a little bit late to the game but better late than ever. I could encrypt everything before it hits Dropbox but I don’t see that as a working solution in the long run.Īdding all these together - my data (possibly) being stored in the US, and Dropbox being slightly coy in publishing this, focus on desktop apps that go beyond just storing my files, and the inability to provide my own encryption got me thinking even more. In addition, Dropbox does not support bringing my own private key to the service to encrypt data as I see fit. If I purchased 15 or more business licenses I’d get the opportunity to store my data in the EU. Does this mean that my data is stored in the US? Dropbox seems to imply this (and to be honest, perhaps they’ve stated this but I’ve missed that) with their conformance to EU Privacy Shield. Australia and Japan also do not affect me. Thus, Germany’s privacy laws do not help me. Additionally, storage servers are available in Germany, Australia, and Japan for some Dropbox Business users. Storage servers are located in data centers across the United States. Where exactly is my data stored? In the cloud, yes, but where? Dropbox has a short page explaining this: I figured I’ll dig a bit around the service, and what I’m paying for. The new Dropbox Desktop App felt needless, and I started thinking if I still wanted to use the service. Recently, Dropbox went public, and the service started changing. I ended up using only about 12 % of my Dropbox capacity
I’ve had Dropbox on my mobile devices, integrated with Microsoft Azure, my Synology device and other services that needed to access my data. I simply love it it’s simple, reliable, fast and with 2 TB of storage it’s always been enough for me.
#SYNC VS JOTTACLOUD PLUS#
I’ve used the service through the Plus plan, and I’ve also had the Unlimited (Packrat) version history for half of the time. During this time, I think I’ve paid about $1400 in subscription fees. Thanks for reading my blog! If you have any questions or need a second opinion with anything Microsoft Azure, security or Power Platform related, don't hesitate to contact me.
