I love Dropbox, I am a paid plus user. The syncing is amazing, and absolutely gets out of your way. You just have to put something, and forget about it. It's sad that they are slowly moving their focus towards businesses. While that is not a problem in and of itself, it seems individual users don't have much priority anymore.
“Be among the first to know when Google One is available in your area” made me think why they're rolling out the service based on Area?<p>Wonder if it is due to technical reasons or demographic reasons, or it is still in the process of "beta" and needs to be tweaked more for releasing to all areas at once?
After completely screwing so many of us over with that horrible File Stream "upgrade", I'll pass. I still have an orphaned local Google Drive folder that randomly stopped syncing to sort through and move to Dropbox.
It would be great if Google drive wouldn't use up my MacBook's battery so fast. All the time my cpu usage is at 100% when using Google Backup and sync. Something that other competitors have managed to do better than Google. Using dropbox at the moment.
Been using Syncthing these last few days, today it saved me about three hours of sending files to California just to download them back in the same office. Highly recommended if you understand and can afford the small amount of time you trade for functioning peer-to-peer transfers (which, in basically every case, are faster than client-server-client transfers).
I'm not sure what this is? Is it a rebrand of Google Drive?<p>EDIT: Yep, with more features! <a href="https://www.techradar.com/news/everything-you-need-to-know-about-google-one" rel="nofollow">https://www.techradar.com/news/everything-you-need-to-know-a...</a>
As someone actively using both Google Drive File Stream and Google Backup and Sync. For the love of god, fix your desktop software.<p>Dropbox and OneDrive both understand the concept of filenames and collisions. It's very obvious that Google Drive is not a file system, especially when you have shared folders with multiple people.
I am totally done with Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Apple and Amazon. I want my independence back. How can I set this up myself without relying on the above mentioned service providers ?
