- mikestew 9y agoParent sounds nothing like those comments. Whereas you see people saying, “just glue together some ftp, rsync, a little SVN, and you’re golden!”, my take on what parent is saying is, “we have offerings from Google, Microsoft, Apple, Joe’s Online Storage, what makes Dropbox special again?” The picture you try to portray is “no wireless, less space than a nomad, lame” and that’s not the case at all, I think it is a question worth considering.
- nck4222 9y agoThe parent is also suggesting cobbling together multiple different products (google docs, photos etc) in order to replace dropbox...

- nmg 9y agoI've been using Dropbox Pro for four years, and for me the biggest thing is does one or two things and does them well. It just works. I have a hierarchy on my file system that follows me wherever I go. I have a few gripes about how it handles conflicts and cross platform issues like capitalization, but they are minor compared to the benefits.
