With Dropbox’s announcement of new plans and pricing, two of the benefits I listed above for SpiderOak are no longer true. Pricing is now equal (not considering SpiderOak’s student rates) and Dropbox has introduced 200 GB and 500 GB plans.
Additionally using symlinks one can add any folder to their Dropbox (note I’ve done this on OS X, I can’t speak to whether this is possible on Windows).
That leaves SpiderOak with it’s security benefits. However as this thread from the Dropbox forum details, there are many solution to this problem, one possibly coming from Dropbox itself!

As such, I’ve made the switch back to Dropbox.
