I didn't watch the video to see Jobs saying this, just reading from the parent transcript, but can we be sure Jobs was actually referring to Dropbox here? And not the default shared folder that ships with OS X called 'Dropbox'? (Which many people had automated to back up dropped files to a remote server in the past).
Most charitably, you could argue that when Steve has previously said words to the effect of "we think we've done something better," entire industries were occasionally upturned. For the CEO of Dropbox, to hear that phraseology used in their direction, I can imagine how they might interpret it that way.
