Dropbox inventor determined to build the next Apple or Google

I agree with you. I'm not sure why email, with a few added features, can't just replace dropbox completely. I have more space in gmail (and unlimited space on yahoo) than I do on dropbox, for free. Email syncs better than dropbox on every machine I have because I don't need additional software. The only other limitation is sharing but I think this is where something like "wave" would have worked.

Just my thoughts.

There are a handful of products that turn Gmail into a filesystem. I have no idea how well they work today or how inter-operable they are.
