Gripe about Dropbox

<< < (2/2)

I change  my Broadband provider almost every time it's out of contract so I use a Gmail address & outlook to avoid the email trap.
I was a loyal customer for almost 20 years with VM but they seem unable to reward loyal customers in the long term.

Most of my internet is hard wired so little to change with Wi-Fi at home.

But with Dropbox you can share large files with others  ..like I am doing on here.

Years ago i went to UK2.NET and now pay about £6 a year for blj.org.uk and they happily forward emails sent to there to as many other addresses as i wish, this is why if you hit reply on one of my mails it disapears and i dont recieve it but that dont bother me as if people dont read the bit where i say only send to blj@blj.org.uk do i need to talk to them!

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I'd never heard of Dropbox until we had our house fire.

The firm who cleared our house of all it's contents took photos of everything that was in the house including individual items of clothing to a climate controlled  storage facility. All the photographs plus the manual records were on their drop box site that we were given access to for our home whilst we dealt with our insurance claim.

I briefly had my own free drop box account to copy & store the photos until our claim was settled.

The firm (appointed by our independant loss assesors) mainly dealt with flood damaged property as well as serious house fire victims. They were a brilliant firm owned by a local businessman.

Should anyone here be unfortunate enough to have a serious house fire I would highly recommend you appoint an independent loss assessor (LA) they basically take away all the pain of dealing with a house insurance company for a large claim. (Ours was around £190k plus VAT  for buiding & contents)

The Fire Service (FS) Incident Commander (who Wendy use to work with before he joined the FS) gave us advice about seeking our own LA . It was one of the best pieces of free advice I have ever been given. We were inundated with calls from a variety of firms to act as our LA. The Incident Commander gave us a business card for a Birmingham Based Charity who in turn pointed us in the right direction for appointing our own LA.
