I don't think it's shitty. Firstly nobody knows who seafile is, so it's just clearer. Secondly, by comparing them to Dropbox they are also acknowledging that seafile is a "legit" file sharing company.


'Cloud backup' or 'cloud file storage' (whichever is appropriate) would work without namedropping a competitor.


I agree. By adding "Dropbox alternative" everybody immediately knows what the company Seafile is doing...


Like snooping on their users' files, and reporting them to the police? Because that's what Dropbox is doing, and is exactly the opposite of what Seafile is doing.
