These articles that describe how to "build your own dropbox" all ignore the client. For me, the beauty of dropbox is the simple, straightforward client. Backing up on my own hardware/cloud might be interesting, but not if I have to monkey around with shell scripts in a CLI.
When someone reverse-engineers the dropbox protocol so I can use the official dropbox client on my own infrastructure THAT will be news.

Still, I see no reason to use Droxbox servers when you could setup your own.
