Caution for free users - Felix01

Yea, it always concerns me when I'm getting something like this for free...because it can just as easily disappear in the middle of the night. So I use it for the synchronization convenience between computers but it sure isn't my primary or even secondary backup.

If Apple's iDisk were as fast as Dropbox, it would be my choice for this (file sync) task. But it's not. Not even close; albeit, getting better. For awhile there, iDisk was so slow and unreliable I was having to use Cyberduck to unload data to the 'cloud.'

Backup is YOUR responsibility - MarkusWinter

NOT the responsibility of dropbox. DropBox is brilliant to keep some data synchronised between computers or to transfer large files to somebody else (I just transferred a 700 MB file to my father in law in NZ), it is NOT a backup service.

This is not a backup cloud. It's a sync service. If you use something often (such as a planbook), the quoted usage warning is moot.
