Weekly Poll: Have You Quit Using Dropbox?

Dropbox may be the leading file sync and sharing app, but it sure has a lot of competition. Google’s upended the whole way Google Docs works to turn it into Google Drive, and Apple’s built iCloud deep into the latest versions iOS and OS X. Even Microsoft has a rather good file syncing service, Skydrive, and then there’s dozens of other apps from smaller companies: Box.net, Jungle Disk, SpiderOak, Ubuntu One, and more.

No matter how many file sync apps I try, though, I’ve always continued using Dropbox. It’s consistently the fastest, least resource intensive, and works the way I want. I use it to share files with friends, family, and coworkers, not to mention saving and syncing my own files to all the devices I use. I do use Google Drive and iCloud for some stuff, but Dropbox is what I rely on to keep my digital life in sync, and it’s easily the most important app I use (outside of Safari, perhaps). In fact, I can’t imagine living without it.

How about you? Do you still use Dropbox, or has another service attracted you instead?
