This looks great! I'm glad to see they are finally launching. - Paul Buchheit

I've been using dropbox for the last couple of days now and I must admit it's fantastic. - Mark Lancaster

I've been using it for the past couple of days, and it works very nicely for sharing a few files between friends - which I guess is their target. It can be insanely slow though, and doesn't work well with large numbers of small files. Also I one of the non-techie but still power-users I know immediately thought that the folders were actually stored in the cloud (like iDisk) and that the content was in one and only one place. - Robin Barooah

I can't help compare it to FolderShare - which a close to identical UI, but was completely P2P, and was much faster, and did everything that DropBox does but 4 years ago. It was even embedded in some NAS drives. The only problem with FolderShare was that development stopped when they were acquired by Microsoft which was before they had released their Linux client or Intel Mac version. - Robin Barooah

It is a very natural way to share files and I will be using it. (Just to make it clear that my criticisms don't mean I think it's bad). - Robin Barooah

I tried foldershare a few years ago and found it to be maddeningly quirky and unpredictable. The concept was ok, but it simply didn't work. - Paul Buchheit

Dropbox is great. Remote storage at local speed. A big plus for client support on Mac, Windows and Linux. Suits my workflow very well. - Håkan Dahlström

I love Dropbox. I've been using them for months now. One thing that does tend to make it choke is having too many directories. I had a bunch of symlinks that made it fail. - Benjamin Golub

do they finally let me choose a different folder as the dropbox? - Chris Hofmann
