On the other hand, they are adding tons of invisible yet useful features like auto OCR on PDFs, auto-transcription of audio files, a much better search, etc.

It's not suitable to store anything that sensitive, but for regular stuff, they are becoming a powerhouse, and the web app allows you to work very efficiently and fast.

I personally like Dropbox, and don't find the direction they're heading ill-advised.

The direction is great. The communication and customer support leave a lot to be desired.

The thing is, its hard to have a product thats important to you and does cool things but also you don't rely on for anything crucial. Esp when its file storage.

		> you don't rely on for anything crucial. Esp when its file storage. Crucial and sensitive are different things. I trust them with the files I actively and regularly use, but I don't trust them with anything that needs encryption, which is a tiny sliver of what I have in terms of files. Keeping things backed up is an entirely different conversation, though.

That is far afield what I'd consider appropriate use of my data. I'll be discontinuing my very old subscription.
