> I'm pretty sure Dropbox and Box.net have lots of smart people working for them as well. (In fact, I have friends at Dropbox) While I cannot say anything regarding Box.net, the Dropbox app on Windows is one of the best working programmes I have installed. It has never crashed and doesn't slow down my computer, no matter how much it has to sync. I never understood why Google isn't able to copy Dropbox behaviour even after years. GDrive is still able to slow down my computer notably if I sync a lot of files and it tends to lose the connection every week or so until I restart it. If you then look at how reliably Google Search or Gmail work, the answer can just be that Google doesn't care, not that they couldn't do it.
