If you're having issues with your work fitting into a sprint, have you dug into why? Are you breaking down the task into small enough units that make them more digestable in a sprints worth of time?

We also punted on standups, I never found them to be valuable and past experiences felt like they were more of a mechanism to get people into the office at a certain time. We do a once a week team meeting with an agenda that you can add to before hand. We discuss anything that needs to be discussed as a team and unblock anyone then. I trust everyone is doing work daily and I can check our sprint board without having everyone tell me what they worked on daily.

It took me calling them out in a tweet to get myself off these calls. The only place I used my phone number was for two factor auth, which they then decided they would use to up sell me. There's also no way to opt out on their website. Very shady practice but love the product otherwise

Same reason I was using Crashplan, now looking for suggestions for a good cross platform solution

problem is they don't support syncing folders. You'd have to keep track of what you've uploaded already. Also I haven't been able to get it to successfully upload all my photos, seems to always stall out after a few hundred photos or eventually hit some sort of rate limit that goes to a crawl
