Right but the value proposition of Dropbox wasn't the tech it was built on, it was the fact they gave you free cloud storage in exchange for an email address.
Most my musician and composer friends were forced to use it because it was the cheapest way to share a few hundred gigabytes of instrument samplers with remote contract workers.
They would reserve a week to deal with botched dropbox client upload/downloads. A freaking week. I convinced a few to just pay postage on a external HDD and bite the bullet if they got damaged. They never looked back.
