It needed access to EVERYthing. I understand the developers will not be accessing other files but I just can't let anyone access my personal photos, my school work, my statements, etc. There is a reason I have a password on my computer and letting a program access everything in the folder I love the most just isn't acceptable.

There has to be a way to grant access to a certain file and I will gladly start using these Dropbox apps.

They shouldn't be on Dropbox in the first place. What you put on Dropbox is essentially public - be it for their admins or for law enforcement agencies who don't need a warrant to access your dropbox.

That is for a basic task, it will get tossed into the app. I can add things like "Go get the mail today @2:20PM", and it will enter in the correct time and date and remind me with a default reminder popup on screen.

In addition to the pop up on screen it is also listed in the Notification center, which is always a three finger swipe away on the trackpad.

You can even have it reminds you when you arrive or leave a location using geofences. ie: "Remind me to get oranges when I am near Safeway" and when I am near a Safeway it will remind me.

I use it for taking out the trash and bringing the cans back in. All this transfers to my phone as well, without any intervention on my part. So if I am out with a client, I don't want to be bothered by certain alerts. Reminders will know because I am nowhere near the trash cans.

Of course, there is the actual Reminders.app where you can get very granular, enter in large amounts of notes and additions, set it as a repeating item etc.

Entering can be done on your phone vie Siri entirely as well.

It may be a little overboard for some, but it is what I have been using lately, and has served me pretty well. A heck of a lot of these items used to be a battle of "should they go in my calendar, or should they go in a todo", now, only appointments go in my calendar, birthdays, things like that. Any action that is a one off, or even repeating but not really something that I would ever mark on a calendar or need to know abbot after I am done with the task, that goes through this new system.

I use Google tasks and I don't pay any money to Google. On Android I use a freeware 3rd party app (GTasks), works like a charm.

Evernote/LastPass/Xmarks make their money selling the service, why would they use DropBox instead and essentially put themselves out of business.

Also, didn't Dropbox just buy some music company? Expect music locker based antics soon.

I don't understand your second paragraph, it just sounds like "I'm entitled" but I don't presume that's what you mean.

Entitled? No. Annoyed when yet another service wants to provide their own cloud storage for a monthly fee on top of something they could just use Dropbox with? Yes. That problem has been solved.

In addition with Dropbox I control the storage. There's no export needed. That data is mine, not yours and is accessible to me everywhere. So yes I want developers to use Dropbox, and charge for the add on, not the cloud storage.
