Before becoming a Dropbox user I was aware there were other cloud-storage services available, but it was the good word-of-mouth that prompted me to try Dropbox. They're a great example of how to win in a crowded market through sheer awesomeness.
Good timing probably also played a role, though. I went with Dropbox because sync'ing files between my desktop, laptop, and iPhone had become a huge hassle. They wouldn't be worth it to me as a USB key replacement, but as a way to manage today's proliferation of devices Dropbox is golden.
- arnorhs 16y agoI was actually a zumodrive user before I was a dropbox user. I had taken a look at dropbox but the fact that zumodrive installed as a separate drive on my computer felt better/cleaner than it being a magic folder (with a space in it's name) But eventually, when I had problems, Zumodrive's support completely failed me and it seemed like a sinking ship, so I gave up and turned to dropbox and haven't regretted a single moment.
- luminary 16y agoI'm wondering if anyone uses/has used Syncplicity? IMO, it's better than Dropbox.
