If I have a Dropbox cloud storage account, should I leave it?
I know there are some IT people at CHT Forum and thought I'd ask.
Is this a real issue or just hype?

Alternatives
40 alternatives
– no info on terms of service (TOS) - some outdated
5 Dropbox Alternatives For Cloud Storage - link
One "hot" alternative that I've heard suggested:
SpiderOak
For: security, backup, share, sync, mobile

Since I already have a dropbox account I'd rather just keep it, but wanted to query this group....
Thanks,

Many people consider Dropbox the baseline product/service to emulate and beat for syncing and storing data in the cloud, despite a recent security issue and the announcement of a related class action lawsuit.
Giving you access options for nearly every popular desktop and mobile OS variant and version, Dropbox makes your data accessible from anywhere you can get Internet access.
Your changed files are instantly backed up to the cloud and to all connected sync points.

With full file versioning and the combining of sync, sharing, and backup into one service, SpiderOak deserves a serious look for those whose top concern is security. Bottom Line: SpiderOak offers everything that Dropbox does, but with better service offerings and benefits, plus a superior price point.
