I found the original response from the last comment to my question (the response is now dead):
* Nothing to download. * Easy to use. * Its the next New Big Thing.
Dropbox is incredibly easy to use, and "The next Big Thing" is not an advantage.
Not having anything to download is nice, but the side-effect is that everything has to manually be uploaded instead of automated.
- theli0nheart 16y agoThe API should be done by the end of this weekend. When that's done you'll be able to upload your files however you'd like, provided that you are willing to write some code :)
- bdclimber14 16y agoI'll be honest, I don't think I could possibly even think of a way to improve the Dropbox workflow. An API is great, but I can't think of what to code that would be better than what's available for free.
- statictype 16y agobut the side-effect is that everything has to manually be uploaded instead of automated. What's the difference between dragging from one folder to another and dragging from one folder into the browser page? Same amount of effort. There's a definite use-case for this type of service. Even if you use Dropbox, there are times when you want to transfer files from someone else's machine and they don't use Dropbox.
- bdclimber14 16y agoI don't do any dragging. I just store everything in Dropbox to begin with. Sometimes I forget what Dropbox is, it's that good. Dragging is a pain point. I do see the use case for non-dropbox users. Unfortunately, I don't think that others not having Dropbox is a strong competitive advantage.
