Isolated from everything else, that comment was true at the time and is still true today. You can't propose that as an alternative to Dropbox, but that is a specific context. eplanit specifically said "cobble together my own dropbox for my simple needs", so:
- I'm assuming they have the minimal technical skills to make this trivial and accomodate the rough edges that come with it: no easy "signup" flow but creating an ssh key and putting it on the server, for example. Not that it's much harder though
- I'm assuming they don't care about business viability because it's just for them
- I'm assuming they don't need a lot of features: automatic syncing, a simple ui for listing/downloading/uploading
