Sorry I had also meant to say that Dropbox is going to start providing a basic SLA and some form of insurance coverage for their users, they have no other choice and know that if their customers wake up to the fact that they are holding the can, there will be a huge fallout.

Expect them to get ahead of this.

I completely agree. Here's my 2 cents.

A few buddies of mine back in 2009 were joking around that Dropbox would undoubtedly launch an email service. Then they bought MailBox. Personally, I think it's only a matter of time that a entry-level bundle will become available under the guise of a free email service.

Users get free email address, and access to MailBox + 2 GB storage. The email is just bait. I think at the point the `*@dropbox.com` emails become available, they would be wise to implement at the very least a basic SLA.
