If anything, Dropbox isn't thinking big enough. They really need to start thinking about how to provide a ubiquitous, multi-platform, private, cloud filesystem. Stop encouraging people to "back up" their files, and start using encouraging people to store the primary copy of all their files on Dropbox.
On Windows, Dropbox shows up as "My Documents/My Dropbox". When really "My Documents" should be the dropbox.
- theBobMcCormick 16y agoHaving the option to set your "My Documents" folder to be your DropBox folder (without resorting to symlinks or toher trickery) might be a cool option to have, but IMHO defaulting to sharing your "My Documents" folder would be highly intrusive and rather evil. Very un-dropbox like. One of the things I love about Dropbox is that they've always seemed to be very straight forward and above board. They feel trustable.
