I would add the "why" to the front page. When I read the top paragraph, first reaction was - "I can do that with Dropbox itself already". I'd add something about easily sharing.

Kind of off-topic, but it's really use for HBO to bring this entire operation down if they want: the domain name contains their trademark, "HBO". In these cases it's much better to have a generic domain name (i.e. "takemymoneycable" or some

Nowhere in the post the actual earning of money is mentioned. Yes, I know, all startups these days care about users/eyeballs, but it would be refreshing to read about businesses that actually, you know, have a business model based on earnin

Obviously there's nothing wrong with UX people learning how to program, and programmers learning a bit of UX. Doing either will enhance the value you provide to clients, no doubt. However, all I'm saying is you can't realistically become an

I would agree with you if these were complimentary skills we're talking about. However, programming and UX design are almost contradictory. For programming, you need a mathematical inclination, attention to detail, willingness to sit down

Yes, those are nice commandments. But most Google users aren't nearly tech savvy to follow them.

The point is to sync so if your local computer fails you can retrieve them. A situation could occur where your hard drive fails AND you're locked out of your Google Drive account.

With Google's legendary customer service, it's only a matter of time until someone gets their account locked, loses all their files and can't get them from Google because there's no way to speak an actual person.

Good question. That's what I'm struggling with right now. There really is no way to determine this accurately at interview stage - a smart person will always figure what kind of answer you're looking for. One way is to have them describe in
