Dropbox?
Begone, heretic!
If you want to pay 10x what S3 storage and a free S3 browser/sync util costs
I guess i depends on how much data you need to move and how long you want the sync open for. I've had a dropbox account for... I forget how long, and have never paid them a dime.
So you have no data? You don't use it for backups, or storing videos/photos? Seems like you're paying for the same service I get, you're just paying someone else, and likely more.
No, I'm not paying Dropbox anything, I use it as a passthrough to transfer data from one device to another.
Example: I like having the same background and lock screen images on all my devices, I pass those through Dropbox.
I use S3 and a sync util to do the same with all my music, photos and videos. I'll be hosting my own S3 soon enough, but for now AWS/Glacier instant retrieval is like 1/10 the cost of Dropbox
Again, I don't pay Dropbox anything. :)
Congrats, you're an edge case of Dropbox users.
