I've soured on DropBox a bit, if for nothing else the cr@ppy attitude of the people developing it.

Spideroak is working good for us and the Linux client is just as good as the ones offered for other OS's. I am impressed enough to put it into service for HeliOS.

Spideroak is wonderful. I've been using them for a couple of years, and have some clients on them as well. Great service and never a glitch, and best of all they had "zero knowledge" from the beginning. Your stuff is strongly encrypted and they can't get into it, and you can share your account. If you lose your password, too bad so sad because that is the only key. It always puzzled me how Dropbox got so popular because they never were that good, and they don't protect your data.

I might give it a try. I have to look at the costs -- can't remember how it breaks down.
