I'm running OpenSUSE leap 15.5, When I was on the linux mint, I was using warpinator but using it on openSUSE is troublesome and I wish there was a linux version of blip but unfortunately there is not.

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

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Again, I don't pay Dropbox anything. :)

Congrats, you're an edge case of Dropbox users.
