> Ask me anything.

Congratulations on all the successes. You guys are doing something way cool. One question - when did you know Dropbox was a winner? And if the answer is "right away," then when did you really know Dropbox was a winner?

Any specific events stand out to you?

I wasn't at Dropbox particularly early, so that is more of a question for someone like Drew Houston. The first time I used the product, I knew it was awesome. The first time I talked to Drew about the big ideas, I knew it was going to be much bigger than what most people might think.

The Cloud™ is one of those mega trends, and Dropbox is right in the middle of it.

It seems to me not a lot is going on from users point of views (features), did I miss something?

Always having access to up to date versions of your files from anywhere independent of the hardware you are using seems like a pretty big deal to me, especially since Dropbox works so effortlessly. Is that not enough?

Isn't that the beauty of Dropbox? It just frickin works, you don't even notice it.
