[ale] Dropbox opinions wanted

[Greg Freemyer]

>From the features page

 "30 days of undo history, with unlimited undo available as a paid option."

And is anybody using dropbox for bigger backup storage needs.

I've got about 300GB at SpiderOak now (~$25/month).  It only uploads
at a GB every couple hours or so.

Thus if I do have a disaster and need to recover, I will have to
selectively pull stuff down at first.  It will take a couple weeks I
suppose to recover all of it.
