That answer is 8 years old. Files seem to be disappearing from a large number of problem domains, in favor of webapps. That doesn't bode well for Dropbox if it is a trend that continues.
- Baeocystin 7y agoHiding file systems is both en vogue and maddening for people who actually work with files. Which is everyone, even if they don't know it. The amount of assistance I've had to give even technically-competent users when it comes to even finding where the heck their data even is has skyrocketed over the past couple of years.
- CriticalCathed 7y ago!!! I have experienced this. It's primarily people with shiny new macbooks who can't figure out where any of their files actually are even though they are constantly editing them! Eventually there's going to be some serious blowback. You can't expect people to efficiently use their computers if they can't even find their godamn files!
- hrktb 7y agoInterestingly enough, Dropbox is/was popular on iOS because of being the closest thing to a filesystem. With iOS13 this also erodes, but going against the trend was beneficial for them up to this point.
