Who needs Dropbox?

Odd question.

Odd question.

It wasn't asked by Sysman - it was something tenpin said about using CrashPlan+

Yes. It's a bit too easy to get into the habit of dropping something into your Dropbox folder to transfer a file from one system on your desk to another system on your desk, virtual machines included, or putting a file onto a USB stick.

Yep, that's laziness.

It was a rhetorical question. What I meant to convey was that with a crashplan app on each of my home, work, fondleslab devices, I can use Crashplan to "recover" specific files from my backup onto the device in question. But Dropbox is useful when xferring between non-backed up devices. I have both :-)
