I, too, am paying for a large Dropbox account, but here are a couple things I don't like about it.
- I use it to share the development of a lot of projects. But if one of the team members deletes a file, it is deleted for all of us. Hey, let me manange MY file system, please.
- There is a tool called Packrat, which allows one to recover deleted files, but since I don't have to use it every day (gracias a dios), I can never remember how to open up good ol' Packrat. All DropBox would have to do is put a button/icon on my homepage and let me dive in. Or down.
- One can't share individual files, but only complete folders. That, too, is less than ideal.
So like Russ, I'll go ahead and install the Amazon tool and give it a test drive.

piece on Slate about Amazon's new cloud storage service and how it's likely to kill Dropbox. Naturally I signed up. But I already have a Dropbox account that's not full. I also have Goggle Drive and Microsoft Skydrive accounts. (I also have a Cloud Experience account.) I'm sure I don't need all of these, but I haven't spent the time to decide what I really want to do. Has anyone thought about this? My needs are pretty modest. I tend not to store videos or music, just text and software.
