As I replied to this developer, I think a device-level file management store and UX is very 80s.
The solution to the current trade off IMO is to maintain the sandboxes, but to fix pervasive search across apps and devices - expose more data facets, make the UX ubiquitous, ensure strong default privacy controls, and oh yes, ensure the FAST=TRUE setting is enabled. That's how you outflank DropBox.
I'm not sure if many here use iCloud search today (for mail), but it is abysmally slow and unreliable. This isn't just my personal pipe dream - apple really needs to fix search... but they could do it in a way that is consistent with their long term goal of eliminating the hierarchical file system for regular users, and really revolutionizing data access/sharing UX.
