>The long term game for Dropbox is in having businesses outsource storage to them.

Is the business version somehow different? We simply don't all users to run Dropbox, because it eats up local disc space on our terminal servers, or desktops. Unless Dropbox starts working more like a local file server there's a ton of business that will never adopt it.

The default where Dropbox just sucks down files until you run out of disc space, and the on-disc-cache can't be shared between users, needs to change for Dropbox to be truly successful in business.
