Now that Dropbox changed it's term of use allowing US agencies access to data saved on dropbox server, it's time to check out replacements. Not that I save sensitive data on their server but I don't comply with such methods.
More information (in German) can be read at: neues-feature-bei-dropbox-backdoor-fur-us-behorden
One of the replacements I'm looking into is spideroak, aerofs and tahoe-lafs.
spideroak also released an iOS app, so I decided to install the application too.
There's also a openSUSE project page for it: en.opensuse.org/SpiderOak.
Unfortunately the version downloadable at the spideroak website is not compatible with openSUSE 11.2 anymore and the Factory link at the openSUSE page is empty too. Oh well, openSUSE will be out of support soon anyways and unless I'm going to stay and use the Evergreen version, I need to update soon.
I have an openSUSE 11.4 VM and downloaded the current openSUSE rpm from:
the spideroak download page and installed it with "rpm -ihv". It installed fine and now I only need to setup the service.
