iCloud's main draw is that provides MobileMe sync features for free. Anyone who expects it to be a serious dropbox competitor when the folder based filesystem is still prevalent isn't seeing why people are using iCloud.

Agree, iCloud isn't really a file sync it's more of an application data sync. I moved from Googles cloud to calendar and contacts because of the seamless sync between my iPhone and Mac.

I wouldn't say iCloud is DOA, more of a lack luster first appearance.
