Time to lift the veil on Dropbox. Maybe it's just librsync, Amazon S3 commands, and some Python duct tape. Built from open source? Maybe the biggest coding challenge for the founder was getting their icon to display well on Apple OSX? Could it be true? Nah. Pay no mind.

Looking forward to this paper. Will Dropbox try to censor the authors? DMCA?

Should there be an open source client to do what Dropbox does and should we all be paying for AWS S3 instead of paying Dropbox? Never. Perish the thought.
