Dropbox is popular because it presents in an easy way...just a folder/directory with your folders in it, works well with symbolic links and so on, bu the rest of the guy and prefs let it down. Most of all its the mac becomes unusable when I start syncing anything important like a a few books in my documents folder.
Try sugar sync you might be suprised.

Dropbox is for me a revolutionary solution to store data in the cloud with a local access through your regular Finder (or Windows Explorer, or tablet, or phone...).
Back up is now easy, Time Machine has become of no use with the history feature. You can't imagine the amount of stuff you can do with dropbox.
Of course, it's only 2 Gb for a free account... but hey, in 10 days, I was able to turn my account to a 20 Gb storage capacity. Free. That's enough for me, as I don't want to put my whole iPhoto library or my iTunes collection...
Perfect for sending big files, hosting a small website, setting up collaboration, synchronize data...
I absolutely love it.
Google Drive is a similar solution. So, no use for a battle, here. I use both and I'm happy with it.

"We usually let Stable builds sit for a while before we auto update the masses. We're very careful about auto updates because we know people depend on us working all the time."

> They're actually stable builds, as noted on the forum page where they post them first.
That contradicts their Testing build status in the release notes, which I commented on earlier.

It still irks me that version numbers solved these problems decades ago, and ever since Microsoft started abusing it with Windows 95, they've been meaningless. Apple does it with everything being 10.x, Chrome and Firefox are in a battle to see who can inflate their number the fastest, and Dropbox just can't figure out what to call it.

> if you download it from their product page and it auto-updates, it's stable.
Enabling the "Include me on early releases" account setting might still trigger auto-updates from stable to early/test releases.

Official release notes indicate:
1.4.2
- Fix Menu not updating on Ubuntu 12.04
- Fix performance problem when syncing a lot of files on Linux
So for Mac users the 1.4.2 update is probably not critical and why it hasn't been pushed / auto-updated from 1.4.1.

It would be much better, of course, if the authors simply allowed the user to either disable the plugin or trash it, but there is no preference setting that will disable it and the plugin recreates itself if it is deleted.
Console will show you that it is this plugin if your Finder is crashing...

Hope this helps.

Dropbox Error
Un expected error has occurred during execution of the main script.
ImportError: No module named traceback.
Had to re-install version 0.7.97 and after that Dropbox needed a long time to synchronize, however after about 15 minutes the program reported that only one (small) file had been replaced.
Something wrong with version 0.7.110?

I am also using Gmail/Google Apps for IMAP mail (using my own domain instead of this ugly me.com) and fruux for addressbook, ical and safari syncing.
