> The negatives you mentioned aren't noticeable to 99% of end users
I wouldn't say that...Anyone with a laptop has probably noticed that they're battery life seems shorter for some reason, they may not know its Dropbox but it is.
Further, anyone who has used Dropbox knows about the slow upload and download rates (especially noticeable if you have a semi-decent internet connection).
>they got the product right the first time and they don't seem like they have anywhere to go from here
If you ignore the fact that you can have endless syncing caused by files made on one FS and synced to another (EncFS > NTFS seems to be most troublesome). Or the fact that the dropox system daemon scans the whole FS instead of just the dropbox folder(s). Or that it doesn't run well in multi-user environments. Or that it's easily broken if permissions are changed in a shared file/folder and you wind up with thousands of (conflicted copy) dupes for no good reason.
