Dropbox Alternatives
As Condoleezza Rice is now the head of Dropbox it’s time to find a replacement. Here are some promising alternatives.
BitTorrent Sync
BitTorrent Sync is supposed to be a secure alternative that puts the user in charge of his own files with no dependency on meddling dubious actors. It has clients for most desktop and mobile OSes.

Google Drive
Is well integrated with Android, and supports automatic photo upload/backup. Sadly, there’s still no Linux client.
