dropbox is so easy, people accidentally install the client on the way to their files. i dont see people accidently installing icloud. i cant see anyone making the case that icloud is EASIER to initialize than dropbox. it just ISNT better at being foolproof. no matter how foolish you are, you cant screw up getting dropbox going.

Dropbox easier to use on Windows, I will give you that. iCloud is DEFINITELY easier to use on Apple products.
Ditto. Pretty sure having iCloud on is actually the default in the El Capitan (latest OSX) setup.

It integrates really nicely to become the default document storage location for most (non-developer) apps as well.

The only trouble I had was to have it replace the "Documents" folder in the Dock so I could just treat it like a cloud version of the regular documents folder.
