Man, I really don't want to come off as a hater at all, but I never got the dropbox hype. They seriously have a developer conference now? Yikes.

- johnrob 13y agoNothing done at that level of scale is trivial. Also, the founders are in pretty rare company given the success of dropbox - definitely something to aspire to.
- mikeash 13y agoDropbox is incredibly easy and convenient to use. It's very simple, and that's what makes it great. It's simple enough for almost anyone to use. I've pointed tech-unsavvy friends and family at Dropbox with great success. It's just a folder on your computer that magically syncs to all your other computers too. Now, there's nothing in that which justifies having a developer conference. I definitely do not understand that. But the Dropbox service itself deserves the praise it gets.

- pjmlp 13y agoI am with you on this one. I only got dropbox installed on my PC because we needed to exchange some files with an external contractor that only used Dropbox. As soon as the project was finished I removed it from my PC.
