I expect they're going to branch out into physical storage. Prediction: by 2020, there will be thousands of DropBox locations where you can rent space ranging from a small locker to a large garage. If they're smart, they'll start in rural areas.

Interesting; what made you think of this?

Also, will I be able to sync my locker with my desk drawer? :)

It's not that far-fetched. Omni and MakeSpace are both already selling 'on-demand' physical storage and have similar business models to what shasta outlined. They pick up your stuff and store it somewhere, like Iron Mountain does for documents.

Further confirmation of Poe's law...

I know you're joking about syncing but once my teleportation startup finished its series A....

You can't teleport. Scan it locally and provide VR at other locations.

Yuck. Support nightmare.

In enterprise, about a dozen vendors do it already.
