Given events of the past year or so, you may prefer not to store your documents on a third-party server.
There are many alternatives for synchronizing your files while keeping them on your own devices. One option is to use a hardware device like the Transporter to create your own private cloud.
If you are a bit more technical, you can do it with your own computer. The excellently-named Ben Brooks has a good writeup of some options called Goodbye Dropbox:
There are many, many, alternatives out there and I haven’t settled on just one. Instead I’m spreading out and doing the nerdy-masochistic method of using a lot of different services.
I have been hearing more and more good things about BitTorrent Sync (no, not that BitTorrent), and I think I need to dive into it more. Apparently there is a nice new iOS app.
None of these solutions are as simple as Dropbox, but if you want a bit more control over your files, it may be worth the extra legwork.
Have you moved your documents to a more secure off-the-cloud solution? What are you using?
