Okay, I see your point. However, I've never used Dropbox, I use git-annex as a better solution to the problem. Likewise, I would still use procmail, or maildrop

Okay, I see your point. However, I've never used Dropbox, I use git-annex as a better solution to the problem. Likewise, I would still use procmail, or maildrop in this situation. This is mainly due to the fact that these solutions are much more reliable than those offered. Unfortunately, this doesn't stop people from using them in mission critical situations, to their downfall.
