Self hosted and versioned FTP drives represent true power, like the stone buildings that stand for centuries. A dropbox subscription is the shitty McMansion that falls apart after 10 years.

Unfortunately, longevity doesn't matter to an economy whose participants surf the cash flow. The shitty McMansion may fall apart after 10 years, but if it lets you earn more than it costs to replace, it's good enough. Sad as it is, a lot of the economy relies on the churn.

In some ways FTP = you own, but Dropbox = you rent. Understandably some like renting more than owning
