I too was disappointed with how dropbox worked, but since my office uses google apps I had been meaning to move over to google drive anyways.<br /><br />I still do fine it to be just a bit underpowered. Video is full screen will stutter, too many tabs can cause odd issues, ect. But the battery life more than makes up for just about everything. Also the keyboard is pretty nice and it is one of the few non-mac laptops i have found where I don't absolutely hate the trackpad (it isn't the best trackpad in the work, but I don't hate it).<br /><br />I honestly think this could be someones primary laptop and can't wait to see what version 2 of this chromebook will be like.

Are you missing the desktop mirror of your Dropbox?<br />Dropbox is actually in my opinion an old fashion way of file storage: you cant really collaborate and you still face problems with version numbering. I clearly prefer Google Drive. But thats maybe a more a matter of taste.Ovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14382921894000028778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-43204763955333899032013-05-14T14:59:39.762-05:002013-05-14T14:59:39.762-05:00I have been using an XE303C with CHrUbuntu 12.04 a...I have been using an XE303C with CHrUbuntu 12.04 as a secondary computer and I am very satisfied with it.<br /><br />It runs LibreOffice and Chromium fast enough to be a really useful addition to my desktop.<br /><br />I also miss file-syncing client (ownCloud in my case) but I make do with accessing it through WebDAV (with Krusader).<br /> Solahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315204880146246849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-75417741448070912842013-05-14T07:51:01.907-05:002013-05-14T07:51:01.907-05:00If you could do a chroot equivalent for Bodhi like...If you could do a chroot equivalent for Bodhi like Crouton you cold have best of both worlds.

You should try Bittorrent Sync to replace Dropbox, there is a port for ARM: http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync.html<br /><br />Haven't used the ARM version yet though, just x68. Maybe I should try on my RPi.<br /><br />Been testing it for a week or so, works relatively well. Need to have many peers to make it as fast as Dropbox though. <br /><br />How has the stability and hardware support matured on Bodhi? Still having some issues?<br /><br /><br />Cipherfusionisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04700112839252075945noreply@blogger.com
