Not sure how accurate this feedback is though

  Not much of a feedback if you are asked why you love dropbox. I don't know why someone would _not_ love dropbox...

    Closed source binary blob needed for client. Meaning it doesn't work on PPC/MIPS/ARM computers. (Not important to most, but it's a valid technical reason why not.)

      I was just thinking about this. This is the only reason that would keep me from switching to an ARM smartbook if a good one ever came out.

        I'm sure if ARM based netbooks ever became actually popular Dropbox would take the time to compile an ARM version of the client.

          Its a chicken and egg problem, really. Besides, I would appreciate the ability to wrangle my own dropbox client. From their api, it seems that each app which hooks into their API must have a secret key, so I wonder if an open-source client can be distributed minus the key.

            Chicken and egg? You think the only thing holding back the popularity of ARM based netbooks is that there's no Dropbox client for ARM yet? ;)

      z:~ Zach$ cd /Applications/Dropbox.app/Contents/MacOS/ z:MacOS Zach$ file Dropbox Dropbox: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures Dropbox (for architecture ppc): Mach-O executable ppc Dropbox (for architecture i386): Mach-O executable i386 Looks like it can run on PPC. Or do you run PPC on a non-Mac OS?
