Here's the problem tho. They are GREAT being independent.
But Apple has shown that baking this stuff into the OS is the way to go.
Is there a happy medium that still allows Dropbox to be a multibillion dollar company?

Except we see that Apple has baked into only one of their two OS's.

I understand why people would still use DropBox, since Lion doesn't yet support iCloud syncing of documents. Maybe it will next month. Maybe not for two more years with 10.8 comes out. There's gaps in the system, no unified solution, and room still for a company to make money off a partial, and cross-platform solution.
