Two thoughts:
- I don't think the Dropbox party is over, and won't be for a while, because of non-techies. Dropbox is drop dead simple and non-technical people have gravitate to it and won't see much of a reason to switch. Also, Google has so many different products now, sometimes when you mention Google to non-technical people they get an overwhelming deer-in-the-headlights look.
- As a technical person, I am excited to hopefully have more online and offline document editing capability with Google Drive. Back when I had a Blackberry, Dropbox's app allowed me to edit files through the app, but with my iPhone app, I can't edit files on my Dropbox.

- DanBC 15y agoBing tv adverts suggested that Google wasn't providing user friendly search results. So maybe there is some huddle of people who just can't cope with Google?
- artursapek 15y agoYes, Bing is a direct competitor of Google.
- cormullion 15y agoI think it's more useful for your iPhone apps to edit documents on Dropbox, rather than for the Dropbox app itself to do it. For most people I've seen using their computers, Google is the search bar and website launcher at the top of their browser window.
