That leaves us with SpiderOak having the only “normal” clean installer.
#Spideroak referral install#
Last but not least, I just re-ran Dropbox’s installer: it doesn’t have a single option! (like, choosing where to install the program) As far as I remember, Wuala isn’t a lot better in that area, unavoidably dropping file in the system’s partition.

Still, that doesn’t matter too much in my opinion, because when you’re on a computer where you can’t install the client, you shouldn’t be typing your password at all in the first place.
It is to be noted, however, that if you have at some point the need to use the web client, Wuala wins then, because they load some heavy Java client, allowing you to still perform the decryption on your side, while it’s unclear what SpiderOak does (but they probably perform the decryption on their side when you’re on their web client). The formers have no access to your files, the latter does, period. Privacy-wise, obviously SpiderOak and Wuala are both winners, while Dropbox is simply rubbish. Still, I’m globally not too satisfied with the desktop clients of all those 3: SpiderOak and Wuala are somewhat complicated (which is probably due to their richness in features), Dropbox on the opposite is totally simplistic and lacking features. Actually, the feature to pick a file to back up can be seen as the equivalent to drag’n back up, only I believe drag’n back up to be more usable. SpiderOak, not in Java, comes very close though. Maybe the easiness to add more features was the reason behind their terrible choice of Java. And the difference can be fairly quickly (over-)compensated via promo upgrades.įeature-wise, I’d be tempted to say Wuala is the richest. Although this is true, this is still capped not too far from SpiderOak, is slower (500MiB instead of 1GiB per referral) and probably also much harder (do you know many people who haven’t already heard of Dropbox?).

You could argue that Dropbox lets you accumulate more storage upgrade via referring. I’d say get it while it last, because I’m not sure such good offers will still be sustainable when they have 10x more customers.

Space-wise, SpiderOak and Dropbox both provide nice ways to earn some free additional storage, but only at SpiderOak are the promo upgrades valid lifetime. the “space race” with prices valid for 2 yearsĮmployees can technically read your files YES, regular lifetime GiB giveways & contests Without further ado, now that I’ve used Wuala for 1 or 2 years and SpiderOak for more than half a year, maybe it’s time for, say, a comparison table 🙂 I also included Dropbox, which I’ve used intermittently for an even longer time, so that maybe their fans will see the error of their way ^^ Comparison tableĥ00 MiB lifetime per referral, max 16 GiB And I don’t regret it, so, in a way, thank you Oracle for releasing Java 7 which broke Wuala (and thank you Wuala for taking massive time to fix it – is it even fixed yet, actually?). Have you tried SpiderOak? I ditched DropBox for it.Well, it’s been a while now since I switched from Wuala to SpiderOak.

So the question revolves around any idea why Dropbox overwrite the local? Is the local maybe damaged and a scan might bring back the lost folders and contacts? Any ideas how to recover from this? I would have noticed this if I were there more often, but they like to "save things up" for me, to maximize their visit from me. So I had what I thought was an offsite backup, usb backup, and another computer in the network backup that all failed. I also setup another computer to get a freefilesync of all the data files including the pst file, but the computer shutdown and they did not notice. The usb hard drive was removed, then plugged back in, but did not get the automatic drive letter, so the backup failed. I also had setup up a nightly image backup to a usb hard drive. Usually I see in Dropbox that if there is a question of which file should be saved, that it makes a backup and you have two files. Unfortunately I found out 3 months later that the file was having trouble syncing (5 GB's in size, has the paid version) and then something stopped trying to sync up and it synced down and overwrote the local PST file with the 3 month old copy. I had the bright idea of putting a client's Outlook pst file in dropbox, figuring that when Outlook was existed, that It would then sync up to the cloud and I'd have an offsite backup.
