so i just decided to take a look through some of old game projects for nostalgia reasons, and I discovered that half of them were completely erased.
these files included both small snippet libraries, and larger, more important files that would completely break the entire project if erased, and can't be recoded due to the fact that I can't really re-figure something when it's been months since I've touched it. plus how i shouldn't even have to loving do that in the first place.
i noticed that some more recent files were erased as well, and this scares me. i originally thought this only applied to old stuff, but it could actually impact something I'm working on now.
i'm not taking any more risks - i'm keeping what's needed in my dropbox and moving everything else out, then uninstalling. i don't know where to, but anywhere is safer than dropbox.
and to think i called it the best syncing service. pfft.
