Moral of this story is that packrat is really important. It's more or less reckless to use Dropbox without it, because explaining the difference between a syncing service and a backup service seems to be next to impossible. In fact, IMHO they could even rename the company "PackRat."

The only annoyance with dropbox I have is there are certain scenarios where you can't play audio from the website and are forced to download it, which is annoying when sharing links.

Agreed.... and once they really get their media and file rendering act together, that multi-billion dollar valuation is going to make a lot more sense. Despite what I said earlier about renaming the company, they're not in the "storage" business, but rather the "delivery" business.

The latter category has an unbounded upside.
