  Akin to writing them yourself, as tongue and cheek remark to the person I was replying to.

    > Akin to writing them yourself But...people don't write Dropbox for themselves? That's an existing product that someone else made (unless "you" refers to a Dropbox employee of course).

        Yes, but that makes Dropbox and 4DOS dissimilar to writing things yourself, not akin to it.
