> I mean, Dropbox is revolutionary, but it's not that hard to replicate. I'd tend to agree with you but I'm not seeing the competition emerge. Sure, I've got 50GB on Box.net for free but I have to go through their website to get anything done. I've got SpiderOak, who seem quite technically impressive but they're more of an online backup system. I've tried a handful of others (Ge.tt? Amazon, Apple's cloud thing) and they all do what they're designed to do but they seem to miss the brilliant simplicity of Dropbox, that it works like I work, with files and folders. On that point I disagree with you, Dropbox is not selling storage, they're selling an easy way to do something that was hard. Maybe these other companies are not trying to compete, maybe they're looking to differentiate elsewhere. I keep seeing companies and even projects on Github that claim to be competing but seem to miss this essential point, that they're competing with seamlessness, with elegant simplicity, not with an online storage product.
