Q: Any suggestions for alternatives to Dropbox now its been blocked?

As the title states, I'm looking for working alternatives to Dropbox that don't involve using a VPN. I'm about to change jobs soon, to work with a UK based trader, and look after all his technical stuff. We'll need to have ways to host and share 3D CAD files. He's been using Dropbox with his Chinese assistant up to a couple of weeks back...and now has to email files back and forwards which is bloody inefficient. It will be worse with CAD data as the filesizes can get quite big.

 

I'll be using a Windows based system while he's on Macbook. So need something platform free.

 

Couldn't find any advice on the recent topic about DB being blocked.

Thanks in advance.

I'd really consider a VPN. Unless you want your 3D CAD drawings nicked by hackers. 

Any service you choose will be subject to a future block. 

 

tresorit.com not sure if it is blocked yet.

I use SharePoint. It isn't free, but it is secure.

Yeah, just use OneDrive. That's what I do, it works well.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
