Comment dropbox is still lacking some very basic features (Score 1) 307
1) Every piece of data you sync has to _also_ be synced online. So, then you're restricted to the amount of online storage you pay for.
What if you want to sync tonnes of storage between computer(s), and only sync a small amount of stuff online. This is not supported in dropbox, and I don't think ever will be because marketing won't want it to change. Today I use Windows live sync (or live mesh) for this purpose and it works.
2) The last time I checked, you could only sync one folder. The drop box folder. They cannot sync multiple folders: http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=5088
This is just lame. I don't think people would like to change their backup directory structure to comply with dropbox's basic/naive/bad design decisions.
