Yeah, but surely the vast vast majority of dropbox's business has to come from PCs. Given how hard (and wrongly) they are pushing to be a collaborative space for work documents, I think I must be correct about this. I know it's cool and all to imagine everyone working on their phones, I just can't see that as a viable work process atm.
- genericone 7y agoTheir loudest majority is probably mobile then.
- nine_k 7y agoNot necessarily a majority.
- bllguo 7y agobut who uses the desktop web interface? don't dropbox users use the desktop app?
- inetknght 7y agoSarcasm is hard. Unless I'm mistaken, you're imitating Blizzard and Diablo Immortal. If not then I think your comment comes across as extremely blind to a large segment of users.
- redwall_hp 7y agoSome people use it by dropping files up to share with people, and don't use the syncing capabilities. It's a reasonably common use case, I've noticed. Some people also use it like a USB dongle, and drop files up manually, then download them on computers they don't have installation privileges on.
- ksaj 7y agoI use it to sync the pictures and videos from my phone, which is then synced to my desktop at home, and then deleted from dropbox and thus also the phone. Automatically. If my phone gets stolen (or data deleted by some overzealous border patrol goon) it doesn't matter as much as it would have otherwise.
- Arbalest 7y agoI do, because all the people at my office using the desktop app complain about bad syncs, sudden filling up of the local hard drive and general slowness
- batat 7y agoI was forced to use web interface after app reinstall because Dropbox free account now supports only 3 linked devices (and I have 7).
