-title: Replacing Dropbox in favor of DigitalOcean spaces

-A few months ago I experimented with DigitalOcean spaces as my backup solution
-that could [replace Dropbox
-eventually](/digitalocean-spaces-to-sync-between-computers.html).  That solution
-worked quite nicely, and I was amazed how smashing together a couple of existing
-solutions would work this fine.
-I have been running that solution in the background for a couple of months now
-and kind of forgot about it. But recent developments around deplatforming and
-having us people hostages of technology and big companies speed up my goals to
-become less dependent on
-[Google](https://edition.cnn.com/2020/12/17/tech/google-antitrust-lawsuit/index.html),
-[Dropbox](https://www.pcworld.com/article/2048680/dropbox-takes-a-peek-at-files.html)
-etc and take back some control.
-I am not a conspiracy theory nut, but to be honest, what these companies are
-doing lately is out of control. It is a matter of principle at this point. I
-have almost completely degoogled my life all the way from ditching Gmail,
-YouTube and most of the services surrounding Google. And I must tell you, I feel
-so good. I haven't felt this way for a long time.
-**Anyways. Let's get to the meat of things.**
-Before you continue you should read my post about [syncing to
-Dropbox](/digitalocean-spaces-to-sync-between-computers.html).
-> Also to note, I am using Linux on my machine with Gnome desktop environment. 
-This should work on MacOS too. To use this on Windows I suggest using 
-[Subsystem for Linux](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10) 
-or [Cygwin](https://www.cygwin.com/).
-## Folder structure
-I liked structure from Dropbox. One folder where everything is located and
-synced. So, that's why adopted this also for my sync setup.
-```go
-~/Vault
-   ↳ backup
-   ↳ bin
-   ↳ documents
-   ↳ projects
-```
-All of my code is located in `~/Vault/projects` folder. And most of the projects
-are Git repositories. I do not use this sync method for backup per see but in
-case I reinstall my machine I can easily recreate all the important folder
-structure with one quick command. No external drives needed that can fail etc.
-## Sync script
-My sync script is located in `~/Vault/bin/vault-backup.sh`
-```bash
-#!/bin/bash
-# dconf load /com/gexperts/Tilix/ < tilix.dconf
-# 0 2 * * * sh ~/Vault/bin/vault-backup.sh
-cd ~/Vault/backup/dotfiles
-MACHINE=$(whoami)@$(hostname)
-mkdir -p $MACHINE
-cd $MACHINE
-cp ~/.config/VSCodium/User/settings.json settings.json
-cp ~/.s3cfg s3cfg
-cp ~/.bash_extended bash_extended
-cp ~/.ssh ssh -rf
-codium --list-extensions > vscode-extension.txt
-dconf dump /com/gexperts/Tilix/ > tilix.dconf
-cd ~/Vault
-s3cmd sync --delete-removed --exclude 'node_modules/*' --exclude '.git/*' --exclude '.venv/*' ./ s3://bucket-name/backup/
-echo `date +"%D %T"` >> ~/.vault.log
-notify-send \
-        -u normal \
-        -i /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/96x96/status/security-medium-symbolic.symbolic.png \
-        "Vault sync succeded at `date +"%D %T"`"
-```
-This script also backups some of the dotfiles I use and sends notification to
-Gnome notification center. It is a straightforward solution. Nothing special
-going on.
-> One obvious benefit of this is that I can omit syncing Node's `node_modules` 
-> or Python's `.venv` and `.git` folders.
-You can use this script in a combination with [Cron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron).
-```
-0 2 * * * sh ~/Vault/bin/vault-backup.sh
-```
-When you start syncing your local stuff with a remote server you can review your
-items on DigitalOcean.
-![Dropbox Spaces](/assets/dropbox-sync/dropbox-spaces.png)
-I have been using this script now for quite some time, and it's working
-flawlessly. I also uninstalled Dropbox and stopped using it completely.
-All I need to do is write a Bash script that does the reverse and downloads from
-remote server to local folder. This could be another post.
