Probably many of you got a warning from Dropbox that from this November it will only support ext4 filesystems (from the linux world). Unfortunately my two most used computers have XFS filesystem, so I am in a bit trouble.
Before moving - to my regret - to something other cloud storage, I would like to ask your opininon: how do you manage this question. Google drive would be an obvious choice, but I still do not know of a decent linux client.
Just in case it helps:
https://metabubble.net/linux/how-to-keep-using-dropbox-even-if-you-dont-us e-unencrypted-ext4-workaround/ Interesting find.
This is basically create a loop mounted ext4 filesystem on a file, and mount it as ~/Dropbox, instead of the previous ~/Dropbox directory. Interesting.
Other combinations would then be possible, but in the end result in having to use ext4 with them. At least on the directory they use. And all this effort to be able to use a service, that's stated it doesn't care **** about linux users. Not even sorry, but not me. Don't want me as a customer? Clear, done. I honestly don't understand why this is such a big issue all over the web. Dropbox has been clear, they don't want / respect linux users. So, bye Dropbox. FWIW, I still had an account, which I unsubscribed from with the above reasoning. They don't care, I don't care.
