Three weeks ago I posted about the German file cloud service provider seafile.de (who are just hosting the open source software Seafile that anyone can install on their own server) ditching PayPal because they demanded them to spy on their users.
Well, I called it. :) Bitcoin is such a natural fit after all, and now they're accepting it:

One suggestion we heard several times was: “Hey, why don’t you guys start accepting bitcoin?” We have to be honest: Up until we ran into trouble with PayPal we were not really convinced that using bitcoin was the right move for us. We considered it too much of a niche solution and not something we should seriously consider. But the amount of positive feedback we received made us reconsider. There seems to be a real demand for bitcoin in our user base.
It's a great software, I can only recommend to use it! The sync engine works really well. The client is also open source of course, so everyone can verify that the software does what it says it does and doesn't spy on you. No reason to use Dropbox anymore! You can also create end-to-end encrypted folders (and share them with others!), so that not even the server knows what's in them (zero-knowledge).
