    Just yesterday, I looked for a tool to encrypt files in Dropbox.

    I couldn’t remember the name, so I searched “encrypt files in drop box.”

    Every single link on the first page was to the official site. I had to guess at the name of the software to find its site.

      Now imagine you were a network user who just wanted to know how to configure a Write-Only network folder, or you wanted to find plans for a mailbox with a secure parcel receptacle.

      Both of these concepts were historically called a Dropbox, until one commercial company hijacked the name for a Read-Write personal network folder, and corrupted the name by providing Read-Only features to their product.

        In fact, I had that issue with something but I’m drawing a blank at the moment. It’s truly annoying.
