Is traffic to Dropbox.com indicative of anything? I've been a Dropbox user for years (yo-yoing between paid and unpaid plans based on my need - the ability to do so is something I hugely appreciate) but never visit the site.<p>Is this not the equivalent of judging Windows usage based on visits to microsoft.com?
"We welcome the ongoing #Mega security debate & will offer a cash prize encryption challenge soon. Let's see what you got ;-)"<p>I can't think of a better way to get someone with real crypto cojones to fix their crypto missteps. Power to Kim and what he´s doing. 50GB for free is amazing.
With the amount of publicity it has generated thanks to the incompetence of US and NZ authorities it is wonder it has not overtaken twitter yet.<p>But there is the thing - mega is not a good service - too much false promises. Seems like a honeytrap for infringers. There are ways to design it better with better guarantees for user privacy.
4shared.com intentionally left out:<p><a href="http://cl.ly/image/0q2e462p1V2Y" rel="nofollow">http://cl.ly/image/0q2e462p1V2Y</a><p>Dropbox is used primarily via client apps, those figures must be less than 10% of it's actual usage.
I wonder how long it will take countries to block Mega in the same way that torrent sites (TBP) are blocked, and what steps Mega has taken in anticipation of this...
I don't know... it seems like people are just curious about it, but it couldn't really be used properly (at least for me... I wasn't even able to download my files).<p>Let's give it a few days and then we will see.
