The "Dropbox Alternative" marketing line seems to really be what's confusing people... this is not Dropbox.
You have to have a source always online, there's no third party service sitting in the cloud syncing all of your computers, it passes that responsibilty onto the user. That said, I'm surprised they aren't trying to "consumerize" this into a hardware product.
Space Monkey has seen a ton of success recently and are well beyond their funding goal on Kickstarter(http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/clintgc/space-monkey-taking-the-cloud-out-of-the-datacente http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/clintgc/space-monkey-tak...). The thing that immediately came to mind for me is that this is really a job for Bittorrent.
A NAS device makes complete sense and if they could build a better experience around that, similar to what Space Monkey is doing, seems like a huge opportunity.
