Dropbox plans to drop encrypted Linux filesystems in November

Re: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

This sounds entirely like a company which wants to reduce the amount of testing it does each time an update is brought out. Unfortunately for them, anyone who is using an encrypted Linux partition on a laptop is going to get hit by this, and will have to find an alternative supplier.

Changing cloud storage suppliers is a lot of faff and trouble, so even if they do reverse this idiotic decision, a lot of people will avoid them for a very long time just from inertia.

Has anyone any suggestions as to a less pig-headed cloud storage supplier?
