Never used 'em. I'm a customer of ftp.drivehq.com. They offer real, proper FTP accounts. Free for 1GB with a 50MB per transfer limit, or 3GB with reasonable limits for what works out to twenty-five dollars a year. They have nice phone software, but the service works with any reasonable/not wholly broken FTP client. One could always run the client on their home computer, but here, I don't have to worry about PC downtime, nor security concerns from running an outbound service.

It's a godsend for those into retrocomputing.

FTP is an early Internet technology and goes back to the early 80s and Ethernet boards that had dozens of TTL chips, sustained several hundred kilobytes a second over very thick cabling, required vampire taps, were largely incompatible with each other, and often dropped packets. Modern FTP standards go back to the late 80s/early 90s, meaning most any computer can run an operating system with an FTP client from the early 90s or later (e.g, MS-DOS and wattcp-based, Trumpet or K9, Win31 and WS-FTP, M68k and NCSA or Fetch on newer Macintoshes, standard BSD on vintage UNIX-type hardware.)

Look at how complacent these fools have become.

The government books themselves said to make anyone with any criticism of government or authority look like a crazy person (even if it's true and we know this is true). Call them "tinfoil hat wearers" or whatnot.

But I'm not such a poorfag that I can't buy a fucking cheap ass flashdrive with much more storage that I can keep to myself.

But no, you don't need privacy at all. You dumb kids grew up in an era never knowing what it is or ever was. You stupid brainwashed and indoctrinated millennials are an eyesore. The enemy of freedom, just like the baby boomers.

>giving Google the right to make derivative works of anything you upload

How storing something on Google Drive different from putting it anywhere else on the internet? There's a good chance someone will make a derivative work from something of yours without your permission no matter where you put something.

If you don't want Page and Brin making lolcats out of your documents, don't upload them.

The attitude you have will prevent you from enjoying anything ever.

dropbox has been preparing for this for 5 years. they have a perfectly working client on every single platform. google can't catch up, its too late. big companies are too fucking slow, and they can never adapt fast enough to change. look at how long it took google to get a decent social network. its because all the smartest people want to work on search, the main project, because they can point to a .0001% increase in search quality and get a 250k bonus. unless you are the team lead for android or chrome or something, there is not nearly as much prestige within the organization as working on the main product

The only thing that pisses me off about dropbox is when someone shares a folder with you it counts against both you and the OG sharers limit. If you share it with someone else they are now charging 3x for the same data etc.
