I wish it were the case. But please analyse majority of the top posts in HN with an open mind. One can clearly see the connection SV --> Funding --> YC --> TC. The outsiders are treated or ignored like pariahs. Have you heard a term "Made in SV". It may be subtle. But it is there.

I am offering an alternative suggestion to a person who is not happy with dropbox's customer service. He/she has the smarts to decide whether a new service is worth a try. My affiliation is irrelevant. Can u guarantee the readers who downvoted me are not affiliated with dropbox or positively biased towards dropbox. You are no different from the dropbox forum moderators.

Another alternative is Tonido. Install Tonido in your computer and stream music and videos to iOS and Android devices. No need to port forwarding. It simply works. You can even stream your iTunes playlist.

As a lawyer, you have professional obligations to protect your client's confidential information. Storing it in a public cloud services provides unfettered govt access if they choose to. I hope u heard about the petraeus Incident.

There are many reasons:

1. Security 2. Dropbox is not suitable for professionals like Lawyers, Accountants, Tax professionals and Healthcare providers 3. EU and Canada Data privacy laws require certain companies to store data inside the country 4.You cannot brand dropbox for your business. You can brand Tonido. 5.You cannot run dropbox in your domain. With Tonido you can.

Do you want more reasons?

Point well made. We operate our tonido relay server across the world using linode, softlayer, herztner and it currently supports couple of million devices and half a million users.In the last 2 years our downtime is less than 30 minutes. It is nil for end users since they migrate to the nearest relay server hosted offered by a different provider.

SPOF,security and control are the major issues with Iaas and pass offerings.

When it become not acceptable to charge money for a software service. Tonido is a mature offering and works. Customers are ready to pay money for its worth. I would rather choose a software that will charge money for it rather than a free one.
