The Dropbox team has a lot more creativity left as far as the product is concerned, I'd hate to see them stripped from that to focus solely on Apple's goals.
On the same token, I've argued that Apple should buy Dropbox for two reasons:
1) iDisk is embarrassingly bad.
2) The iPhone/iPad works on both Windows and OSX; universal file portability is important.
Regardless, I'll continue paying for premium Dropbox service if they remain independent. And I think I speak for a lot of people.
- jsz0 16y agoWhat do you think is wrong with iDisk? I'm just curious because I've had pretty good experiences with it over the last few years. The one issue I run into are the slow sync times. I have to manually press the sync button more often than I'd like to moving between machines. Interestingly I don't see this problem on the iPhone iDisk app which makes me think it's unique to the way OSX handles iDisk shares. (I recently began using iDisk Sync with local caching which has so far provided more consistency)
- pxlpshr 16y agoiDisk is terribly slow. It doesn't hold a candle to Dropbox. We use Dropbox as a file server and repository, I don't believe iDisk is coded with that level of sophistication / performance. It just works, flawlessly.
