It's important to note that the infamous Dropbox comment was not just misguided. It was wrong.

The proof is that multiple competitor products have been launched since, and all of them have had sync issues at some point, with different degrees of severity ranging from sync delays, through data conflicts, up to loss of data in all synced devices. To this day, I still trust Dropbox more than its competition. This includes custom rsync scripts.

Damn i didn't realize HN or DropBox was even around back then. I would've been in high school.

And in another year or two there are going to be people younger than this comment entering the workforce...
