- elithrar 15y ago> they want to be the "Filesystem of the internet" - this is scary, I really hope they won't succeed. Why? Are you interpreting this differently from me? I see them as wanting to provide universal storage for web & mobile applications, in a way that allows you to access your documents & photos across multiple devices and platforms.
- marvin 15y agoNot just documents and photos. In general, working with files on the web is difficult since JavaScript doesn't (yet) let you access the file system. If Dropbox provides really good support for this, they can solve the entire file headache and open up for a whole new type of web applications, while at the same time providing seamless access to the resultant files. This is a pretty big deal.
