You're starting to see a bit of this already with app integrations of Dropbox. There is little reason this apps couldn't monitor the status of their sandbox folders to get desktop write functionality working.
- chwahoo 16y agoI think this is an awesome trend by the way. I love the idea of my social/web data living on my dropbox and I get to choose which apps use it. What would be even more compelling would be a standard interface for this sort of thing, so there could be many dropbox-like providers of storage.
- Samuel_Michon 16y agoBecause Apple's iOS lacks a traditional folder structure where apps can share all sorts of data, many apps have integrated with Dropbox, making it the iOS' "virtual filesystem". This could work for web apps as well. The beauty of web apps is that you're not tied to one machine, you can log in anywhere. Integrating with Dropbox should be a great way to avoid storing information locally just to share it between web apps.
