It seems to me that Dropbox is becoming complacent. They still only offer 2 GB of storage for their free plan.

Someone else here commented about using Bittorrent to sync their music library, since the 2 GB that Dropbox offers would probably be too little space. But now there are new Dropbox-like services offering MUCH more space. The largest that I've seen so far is Copy.com, which offers 15 GB for free or 20 GB free if you sign up through a referral link (in case you want to try it out: https://copy.com?r=odoDlI).

Dropbox has name recognition, but how long can they get by on that when competitors offer 10x more space?

Just as Copy.com offers more space with referrals, so does Dropbox. With my student account and referrals, I jumped up to about 20GB. They also do pretty well with other bonuses (e.g. new HTC phone netted me an additional 23GB for two years).
