Dropbox feels expensive when think about the storage space it provides, but maybe we should think more about the syncing side. Usage patterns may differ. In my case I have maybe just 20 gigs of stuff in my Dropbox, but probably I generate quite much traffic since I host all my software development projects there. That also means all the build results etc end up in the Dropbox folder. And as everybody knows, the syncing mostly just works. And it is fast, almost real-time. I regularly work with the same projects (Java/Eclipse, .NET/Visual Studio, node.js) from three different computers and haven't seen any sync related problems. I believe is easy to challenge Dropbox on the pricing side, but it will be much more difficult to replicate their syncing functionality. Two things I would like to see from Dropbox is support for client side encryption and support for long path names. Currently I'm using Boxcryptor to do the client side encryption.
