I think that in order for interoperability to happen, interoperability needs to be a visible and well known feature. If it's not, a market leader has little incentive to make it easy for people to migrate to their competitors. But if Dropbox already supports it, like you say, maybe it'll actually happen. Now we need to find the WebDAV for universal login - OpenID in its current form is pretty clearly a failure at this point.

Yes, that is why I think it would require a sufficiently large part of the market to be afraid to be on the losing side that could make them combine their strengths. As to that Dropbox WebDAV support: I just checked, and unfortunately, I was wrong (http://www.dropbox.com/help/62 http://www.dropbox.com/help/62). There is third-party WebDAV support for dropbox (dropDAV.com), but that, IMO, barely counts.
