FWIW, one of the reasons I like having a non Google service to hold some important files is in case I hit the Google black swan and get locked out of my gmail account. (I also backup my email regularly.) While integration would probably be convenient, I need to be able to keep working if I do get locked out.

> is in case I hit the Google black swan and get locked out of my gmail account. Do you think fear of a Google black swan is enough of a selling point for dropbox to survive?

  I wouldn't speculate on Dropbox surviving, but, no, it seems unlikely that this fear is big enough to be a factor.

  Yes. That is the primary reason why I would pick Dropbox over Google.

FYI if you just set up a POP client you don't need to run a backup process for your gmail.

Is the risk higher to be locked out of Google than to be locked out of Dropbox?
