There are many reasons:

1. Security 2. Dropbox is not suitable for professionals like Lawyers, Accountants, Tax professionals and Healthcare providers 3. EU and Canada Data privacy laws require certain companies to store data inside the country 4.You cannot brand dropbox for your business. You can brand Tonido. 5.You cannot run dropbox in your domain. With Tonido you can.

Do you want more reasons?




At least 50% of your comments/submissions are plugging Tonido.

Do you work for them?


I am stating the facts here. If you have anything to refute the facts let us talk about that. So what is your interest in Dropbox?


No, this is not how we roll here. If you have any association with the company, you put it in disclaimer to reveal bias.


Alternativly you could just point out where he is wrong or show that Tonido isn't a unique player in the market.

I agree, biases should be revealed, but just berating him and not his argument doesn't move anything forward.


Suitable in what sense? I certainly know lawyers who use dropbox.


As a lawyer, you have professional obligations to protect your client's confidential information. Storing it in a public cloud services provides unfettered govt access if they choose to. I hope u heard about the petraeus Incident.
