Re:Dropbox (YC S07) Raises $7.25M, Crosses 3M Users by doug_m on Wednesday November 25, 2009 @04:11AM (#960880)
I think Dropbox is valuable enough to become ubiquitous but one imagines they need to grow to a certain size before such a feature exactly is rolled into a version of one of the big operating systems. Not that what they've done isn't technically difficult of course, but it just seems like something so valuable it might be on a Chrome wishlist.

Cool thing if the guys who make the software are reading this - started a new job earlier this year at a mostly non-software company managing a few development projects. I doubt most of my colleagues are aware of this startup culture or have heard of .NET much less Y Combinator.

First week "You've got to see this program we have the sales team using, called Dropbox... its tremendous there's about a thousand things we can use it for". Not only are they using it its their "we're showing this off to the new guy" thing.

It's unlikely that one of the big operating systems would come forth with a feature that worked with all of the other big operating systems as well.
