  That's not even true. While it's true the infamous "You can just build it yourself with X & Y" probably spawned from there, the first submission about Dropbox actually has a lot of positive comments about the idea. There was way less than half of them being critical to the idea (not sure "critical" is even the right word, maybe "suggesting alternative approaches for some" is better).
