Don’t get me wrong, I love Dropbox. They offer free storage, handy cross-platform sync clients, give out nice t-shirts at conferences, and have delivered a much needed service with a great user experience. But a little while ago a friend of mine posted a plea to her Facebook feed which went something like this:
European-U.S. data protection agreement: Yet another attempt, yet another failure
The recent agreement between the US and the EU is the third attempt to secure the transfer of personal data from Europe to the US. Holger Dyroff, co-founder and COO of ownCloud, does not see the new regulatory attempt as a satisfactory solution.
