Dropbox REMOVED Votebox After Bitcoin Was Voted #1. Time To Switch?

[vindimy]

This thread was originally a raffle + drive for Bitcoin users to vote on Dropbox site "Votebox" to accept Bitcoin.

Dropbox has recently closed Votebox.. This is after Bitcoin became the #1 voted request.

So... Here's something to consider -

Bittorrent Sync, an open-source replacement for Dropbox.

http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync.html

I personally will move my data to this service rather than continuing to pay Dropbox for ignoring my needs.

Also, I don't want US Govt to access my files.

Hey bitcointalk folks,

There's an active effort being coordinated through Reddit to make Dropbox aware of the popular demand to have them accept Bitcoin as the method of payment.

The good news is that thanks to Reddit we've gone from 3,500 votes to 12,500 votes in just a few short days.

The bad news is that we're still pretty short on the number of votes if we want to make it count!

For example, here's the top three voted feature requests on Dropbox:

• 176,226 votes: Watch any folder
• 152,625 votes: Sharing permissions
• 118,778 votes: Better (more affordable) storage prices

Let's make it count! We're about 4,000 votes short of making it onto first page of "most popular" items. Please be so kind and follow the link below to log in and vote. Note that each user account has multiple votes, all of which can be spent on the same item!



After a day of voting:



Latest:



Dropbox link (please log in and vote):

https://www.dropbox.com/votebox/6425/buy-storage-with-bitcoin-e-currency <-- VOTE HERE

Twitter link (please retweet):

*** RAFFLE ***

I'm raffling off 1 BTC, 10 LTC, 100 PPC, and 50 FTC to 40 lucky posters (a winner gets 0.1 BTC, 1 LTC, 10 PPC, or 5 FTC)! Simply vote and retweet using the links above then post your BTC/LTC/PPC/FTC address in this thread. Sunday at 5pm PST, I'll collect everyone's addresses and determine the winners using randomness!

UPDATE: Winners have been determined and paid out.

Thanks so much! It's little things each of us can do that can add up to something big! It'd be really awesome if Dropbox folks started accepting Bitcoin! Many big names would likely follow.

By the way, you can tweet something like "I love Dropbox because they are probably going to accept #bitcoin soon" (and add the URL to the voting link), and get 125 MB free Dropbox bonus space just by using the Dropbox free space page. It just needs to start with "I love Dropbox" to get you the extra space.

It will be interesting to see if DropBox listens; I'd assume their BTC pricing would be quite a bit higher than their regular pricing (to "protect" their operation from BTC pricing fluctuations).

Okay voted to the max.

I didn't even realize Dropbox had this feature, and I'm a pretty heavy user. I almost want to vote for lower Dropbox prices, but they probably don't even care how many people vote for that - one of the top requests for ANY business would be to have lower prices, it's a silly option (even though I'd love it OBVIOUSLY)

1 month: 0.04237 BTC

To upgrade to next level (500 GB Pro), please send the following BTC amount to <ADDRESS_UPGRADE>:

1 month: 0.08474 BTC
1 year (10% discount): 0.9152 BTC

The BTC amounts above are valid within next 48 hours.

One-click renewal:

* 1 month: bitcoin:<ADDRESS_RENEW>?amount=0.04237&label=DropboxRenew_USERNAME
* 1 year (10% discount): bitcoin:<ADDRESS_RENEW>?amount=0.4576&label=DropboxRenew_USERNAME

1. go to http://www.random.org/strings/?num=10&len=10&digits=on&upperalpha=on&loweralpha=on&unique=on&format=html&rnd=new
2. open two other tabs
3. in one, go to dropbox.org. create a new account as the first random string [same all firstname, lastname, email (add @mailinator.com), and password]
4. in the second tab, go here: https://www.dropbox.com/votebox/6425/buy-storage-with-bitcoin-e-currency and add 6 votes.
5. Repeat step 3 with the second random string.
6. Now refresh the tab that is still open from step 4 and add 6 more votes.
7. repeat step 5 and 6 for the remaining 8 strings.

I know it is gaming the system but... it works. Like a charm. If everyone who responded to this thread before me were to do this, we would have over 9000 added. (150 replies x 60)

And when they discover you're gaming the system they'll ignore votes from the same IP address and also take this proposal less seriously after all, who wants to be taken advantage of by a group of people presumably doing this for their own benefit?

Maybe they'll just assume that everyone was gaming the system and just ignore the votes for this altogether.

I think it is time we try and see if BIPS can make a difference in this case.

So OK listen guys, I will take it upon myself getting Dropbox to accept Bitcoin for plans payments being based in Europe and all, if that will have anything to say. I will report back in this thread with my progress.

I have already create a preliminary integration for them, so they will get the opportunity of accepting Bitcoin payment served on a silver plate.

The permalink is as follows:

https://bips.me/checkout/invoice/79d/ac  - Dropbox premium service - 100GB - $99.00
https://bips.me/checkout/invoice/79d/bc  - Dropbox premium service - 200GB - $199.00
https://bips.me/checkout/invoice/79d/cc  - Dropbox premium service - 500GB - $499.00

Any Bitcoin paid to these invoices will be sent directly to Dropbox, if for any reason anyone would pay to them before Dropbox agrees to run a test.

A very elaborate email was just sent to the Dropbox, explaining "How would it work", "Automatically conversion", "Daily bank wires in their own defined currency", and of cause the BIPS account details with everything defined, only missing their bank account information.

The exactly same deal are currently being offered to Wikimedia, and are in progress in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=249143.msg3020984#msg3020984

Kind regards

I have to say though that I've been using the Votebox for years and they've largely ignored most of the top voted requests. They obviously have the final say so increased votes probably makes very little difference, even if it reaches the top spot.

Check out Bittorrent Sync, an open-source replacement for Dropbox.

I personally will move my data to this service rather than continuing to pay Dropbox for ignoring my needs.

Perhaps instead just choosing different service, you should email them that taking down the voting upset you and that's the reason why they've lost you as customer.

The guy who decided to take down the voting will probably get some heat for that decision and they might reconsider.

SpiderOak.com (My Ref: http://unurl.org/spideroak ) looks promising too though. Only downside is it's a US Company

Edit: seems like they accept bitcoin: https://spideroak.com/blog/20130812192940-private-and-encrypted-storage-for-bitcoin-spideroak-gives-it-a-try

[herzmeister]

I recommend and use

1) ownCloud (works with a simple and cheap PHP shared host, I have 100 gig space currently). Although encryption is possible, ownCloud is designed to be browsable, so the keys would still necessarily have to be on the web host's server too. So it's good enough for personal but public or semi-public stuff like fotos, videos etc. The important thing here is that you retain the rights, unlike uploading them to facebook.

2) a SparkleShare + Bitbucket setup (also other hosts as well as one's own server possible, SparkleShare simply uses git as its backend). Not recommended for versioning large media files (that's not what git is made for), but it's ideal for very private, personal data and documents. In this scenario you'd both use account-based encryption (you'd upload the client-generated key to the server), and client-side encryption (you'll just have to let your repository/project/folder name end with "-crypto"), so file contents are scrambled and even the webhost can't see anything.

[datafish]

I've been using SpiderOak for about 6 months and really like the service.  It's much more sophisticated than Dropbox, and your data is encrypted before it leaves your computer.  You hold the encryption keys, not them.  They recently introduced a feature called "SpiderOak Hive" for those people who would simply like to organize all their synchronized files under one main directory, like Dropbox does.  Otherwise, you can individually select which files and directories get backed up and which directories get synced with which other directories on other machines.  This is really useful if you do cross-platform development and wish to keep configuration files synced between machines.

There is only one area where I think Dropbox is better, and that is speed of sync.  Sometimes I work on a piece of code right up until I shut down my computer at the office at the end of the day.  Dropbox usually has the file synced within seconds, while SpiderOak may take a minute or more.  For this scenario, I either use a flash drive or the free level of Dropbox service.

I'm already paid up for awhile, but if I weren't, I would take them up on their bitcoin offer.

[Keldel]

This is extremely disrespectful to the customers. Fuck them!

PErsonally I really like the idea of Bittorrent Sync.

Closed-source cryptography? No way....

What service do you use that offers features comparable to Dropbox?

[bbit]

Couldn't be me for this excellent idea! 

[🏰 TradeFortress 🏰]

I never seriously used dropbox and I never will. SpiderOak is much better.

[TheButterZone]

Would you consider adding a plaintext file editor so we can sync our notes across devices? Dropbox has Write 2 Lite but I can't figure out how to use it with Sync other than 1-way saving and editing. Thanks in advance.

Who cares about which file hosting site to use, there are 100's available and the bigger ones usually have backdoors in them.

Dropbox isn't really comparable to Mega, unless I'm missing something and Mega does sync files between all my computers automatically.

I've stopped using dropbox and started using bittorrent sync + encfs

[Peter R]

SpiderOak looks like it fixes two of my Dropbox annoyances (Dropbox had no option for client-side encryption and Dropbox did not accept bitcoin payments).

According to the SpiderOak blog (Aug 2013), you can email them for a bitcoin deposit address and pay with BTC.  Has anyone done this? (sorry if I missed it in the thread).  

A few weaknesses I see:

1.  The mobile apps seem to be "read only" and also seems to expose your decryption-keys to the SpiderOak servers.  I guess it would be too computationally intensive to decrypt the files on a mobile device?

2.  Dropbox has "wife-friendly" features like automatically syncing photos.  Not too important for business, but nice to have, I think.


Can anyone who uses SpiderOak share any other "gotchas" that might disappoint someone switching over from a 100 Gbyte Dropbox account?

Although you currently need an invite code for it, but it looks VERY promising. It's currently in beta.

what's so promising about it?

except for traffic restrictions and 1gb free space I can't seem to find any "features"

[Mike Christ]

Okay, I've tried spider oak.  Unfortunately, it seems that it's extremely unreliable with its own network; uploading wasn't an issue, but then downloading seems to simply not work whatsoever, I can't get it to go anywhere beyond 240 bytes transferred, nor can I directly download my files from the site.

I dunno if there's just a massive influx of new members or what, but anyway, I'll try out another one.

[Dabs]

Well, ... I still have dropbox. I also have a coupon thingie installed on a Samsung device that grants 50 GB to either a new account or an existing account. You can buy that from me and pay with bitcoins. hehehehe.

[theonewhowaskazu]

Sorry for asking, but is there any particular reason we can't just use Mega?

[420]

is bittorent sync better than bittorent in sharing one file with one person?

[theonewhowaskazu]

how is it different from bittorent? is it easier to send a file this way

Well, Bitorrent is often blocked, and Mega is usually easier to use?

[420]

Main reason for which I don't like dropbox.

i wont use them either

[b!z]

Sorry for asking, but is there any particular reason we can't just use Mega?

Isn't mega for sharing files with others, like mediafire, while dropbox is for storing file personally, like google drive?

[favdesu]

no sync feature.

What's your experience with http://www.wuala.com/en/learn/technology ?

This seems to be one of the best alternatives I've found so far and most secure.

I'm also looking into Mega but uploading files seems to be bugged.

can they do >2GB?

[jambola2]

jambola2 wants a replacement.
He uses only dropbox for a huge amount of things.
He asks if anyone can suggest an easy to use alternative.

Wuala gives you 5gb and best privacy, has folder sync and so on.

This thread was originally a raffle + drive for Bitcoin users to vote on Dropbox site "Votebox" to accept Bitcoin.

Dropbox has recently closed Votebox.. This is after Bitcoin became the #1 voted request.

So... Here's something to consider -

Bittorrent Sync, an open-source replacement for Dropbox.

http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync.html

I personally will move my data to this service rather than continuing to pay Dropbox for ignoring my needs.

Also, I don't want US Govt to access my files.

BitTorrent Sync is NOT open-source. It is also not a service, but a protocol and application.

I'm pretty sure that Dropbox will eventually accept Bitcoin.

No need to boycott. However, my premium subscription has now expired and will stay so until they accept BTC
