Dropbox and Google Drive are services, not programs. The distinction of "proprietary" or "free" does not apply to them, at least not straightforwardly. We define exactly what it means to say a program is proprietary, but I don't know what it means to say that a service is proprietary. Would you please explain what it is you mean in this case? Our moral requirement is not to recommend running any nonfree software. It is possible -- I don't know -- that these solutions involve running some nonfree software. If so, we should not recommend them in Emacs or in Org mode. Is there text in Emacs, or in Org mode, which recommends these? If so, we should check the facts about them. Could you please show me that text, and say precisely where it is published? With that info we could start checking. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
