vs: Compared to Vaultaire

"Well, it's very simple. It's very, very similar to Dropbox with the one caveat that it is essentially encrypted. It's encrypted on device."

"Dropbox — unbelievable product. Especially when it first came out in business school, I was one of the first people to use Dropbox and that went off like crazy. I have so much storage still on my free Dropbox because I gave out my referral code to..."
