Most of my friends don't understand what Dropbox is nor why they'd need it. They would rather transfer files by USB drive and email. And these are people that live off Netflix and Pandora and Facebook, so it's not like they're Luddites...
- coolnow 14y agoMy friends were like that too. Netflix, Grooveshark, Spotify etc but still relied on remembering to bring a USB stick around. Once i showed them the usefulness of Dropbox (and the fact that you can store ebooks on your account and then transfer them to iBooks), they began to adopt it. A few months down the line, i have more friends with Dropbox than without, and we've also set up shared folders with our ebook collections and regularly talk about what we read this week. I could never imagine hooking my friends on to books, but i guess they all had the hunger for it, but not the means.
- mayneack 14y agoThat's not universally true. I got my parents to use it and through that, my entire extended family uses it as our primary mode of photo-sharing. There are a few people in that group over 70 with paying subscriptions that know how to use dropbox more than almost anything else more complex than a word processor.
