For me a dropbox beating project needs to at least beat dropbox. It seems like they are competing in a small walled garden and meanwhile the rest of the world is moving on with broader innovation and connectivity.
Hey Apple, how about you make it so that fucking Facetime works again you jerks! Guess what the solution to Facetime breaking in ios7 was? Skype. That's what.
Just nothing here for me at all.
I don’t know about Android but there is a Cloud Drive connection for Windows (or will be when it is released).
I think it’s also cheaper than Dropbox. I’m paying Dropbox $10 a month for 100G of space. Apple’s solution will be $4 for 200G of space. My main issue with it is I didn’t see any mention of a shared folders option. My roommate and I use a shared Dropbox folder for sharing DAW projects.
Another cool thing Apple is offering with Yosemite (maybe iOS 8?) is you will be able to email people files up to 5G in size via a link that is automatically generated and using their cloud. No more having to upload a file to a third party service just so you can share the file with one person.
