(I also mention it in [2], section 1.3.) It's a cross-platform alternative, somewhat more flexible and with slightly more overhead when it comes to syncing, but it keeps past versions indefinitely (while they---the diff parts---count towards your quota of 2GB) which requires some periodic clean-up. It has a steeper learning curve than Dropbox, but if you put one hour worth of effort then you'll be quickly up to speed.
A last point is that it treats privacy seriously: your data is encrypted on your computer and kept encrypted on their servers, while they don't have a record of your password (don't lose it!). Dropbox uses encryption only for transfer, meaning that all your data are stored in plain view on the servers.
