!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! cloud for iOS and Android

Get 15GB plus an additional 5GB when you install the desktop app. Shared folders don't fully count towards your storage quota.
5GB referrals and referred too.

Dropbox has been my go to but this new kid on the block seems like it may become my primary

I have no affiliation, btw

I signed up...and I'm sitting here doing nothing with it like with my dropbox/box/drive/skydrive/et al accounts. I haven't figured out how to use them to my advantage yet. Specifically since cloud storage is blocked at my work.

Aside from what appears to be cost, what reason would someone have to use this over Dropbox (which is reasonably priced to begin with)?

I don't even use what I have on DropBox and they have already sorted out their system with a lot of learning the last few years. Why would I want to go through the learning experience of a company again to save a small amount of money while also not having it work on as many platforms? If money matters, why not just use something free like BitTorrent Sync?

DropBox is hard to beat now that they have learned from their mistakes. Just their versioning system alone makes it a winner of many of the competitors.

My wife and I have four or five different devices we sync across, plus the stuff is all accessible online. Really handy for pictures taken on phones and documents.

Wait, doesn't it say Linux? I would assume Ubuntu would be among the supported distros.

Huh, comprehension fail. Although sometimes stuff that works in CentOS you need to hack at a little to get working in Ubuntu.

Free typically means there's a catch. I love Dropbox more than just about any web service in the last 15 years. It works fantastically well, and for a reasonable price.
