wow, emacs comes with dropbox out of the box now? That seems like scope creep.

I think this was a parsing error.

Your parent:

> "Emacs is cross platform, and since org mode works on plain files, dropbox or any similar software will provide you cross platform syncing."

Alternative construction:

Emacs is cross platform and org-mode works on plain files. Therefore Dropbox or any similar software will provide you with cross platform syncing.

I guess the point was that it's still not the same thing. Sure you can do a whole lot of things with emacs if you configure it properly, but configuring everything to work together takes much more time than a complete feature set that is already included.

Not out of the box, but it sure has a Dropbox client package: https://github.com/pavpanchekha/dropbox.el.
