I dropped Dropbox (except for when I have to use it at work).

The tipping point for me was Condoleezza Rice. But there were other issues that were building up. It was consistently eating my laptop battery, and on my desktop with traditional hard drives, it would take forever to start up and finish indexing files.

I replaced Dropbox with a mix of things. My documents went to Google Drive. I converted my old windows desktop into a xubuntu linux home server type thing, and installed BT Sync for the other files I had to sync.

I also do plenty of other things with my home server. Really wish I set one up sooner.
