With Ubuntu 1 taking a powder, I was faced with making another choice. So I chose Drop Box.
The prime reason being it has easy interface with the three major OS systems that I operate, Windows, MAC and Linux. It does the job I need it to do. End of reasons.
The two free Gigabytes are enough for now and I have “earned” a little more. I dislike that marketing “earn more space contest” crap. I’ll pay the first tier when I need more.
I am not a believer in cloud storage or backup for all my files. Maybe someday I will be, but not today. I use two operating systems at home (Windows and Linux) to back up all my critical files and all my web site files. Files are duplicated on both systems and various hard drives in those systems. I feel secure enough. It’s not perfect or fully automatic.
I used MS OneDrive, Ubuntu 1 and now use Drop Box like a USB flash drive that is always in my pocket. A flash drive is how I used to make my document files portable. The problem was I sometimes would forget the flash drive. I started using what’s now called Microsoft’s One Drive and that was a good fix. It was and is clunky to try and store Linux files in One Drive through a web browser. That’s why I shifted to Ubuntu 1.
I often use Linux for a lot of my composing and web maintenance. I use OpenOffice now called LibreOffice which is a very good free MS Office type document suite. I use it in both Linux and Windows environments. Drop Box gives me the common storage until I complete the document and publish it. LibreOffice creates .odt (Open Document Text) and .odf (Open Document Format) files which can be natively exchanged with MS Office.
