The key thing I noted when I visited the home page of DropBox is that I instantly understood what they do.

I compared DropBox to the Box website. After wandering around several pages, I left without being 100% sure if they could do what I wanted.

The ability to offer a clear, concise message should not be undervalued.

Its what stood out to me too.

That said, even as a techie who has worked on and with dropbox products, ive come this far without ever really relying on it. And I dont see that need increasing over time.

I love dropbox, but im a bear on it long term.
