Dropbox hits 1.0

I think this points out how arbitrary software versioning is. If you ask me, Dropbox is way past a "1.0" release. In honesty, this sounds more like a "Snow Leopard" than a "Cheetah". (meaning that it is under the hood performance tweaks, not features that most people will understand or appreciate).

I find it interesting that they specifically mention "TrueCrypt support". What does this support entail?

Is there no auto-update? I'd prefer not to have to manually update 6 computers with me being lazy and all.

It's great to see Selective Sync in there! The only other big feature I'd like to see is an easy way to host several Dropboxes on one computer!

Is the Linux version up yet? I couldn't find it on dropbox.com (even though the button says 1.0.10) or by updating my repo.

I'm always happy to hear about software getting faster and smaller rather than more bloated and buggy (I had to install Adobe Reader 9.x on my girlfriend's dell Vitsa laptop and I swear it took longer to install than a clean windows installation). Kudos to the Dropbox team!

They say "Download 1.0.10 for Linux" on the Homepage, and all you get are way outdated packages.<p>If you don't have 1.0.10 for Linux ready for public consumption, don't advertise it. If it is ready for public consumption, don't hide the download in a forum posting.

I have a dual boot machine Ubuntu/Windows. Dropbox installed on both OSes. The problem "My Dropbox" folder is duplicated for each OS and takes twice as much disk space.<p>How can this be solved?

Are larger accounts coming anytime soon? I'd kill for 250gb.

I have always been wondering why Dropbox needs to have so many threads going on in OS X. Does anyone have an explanation, and does it actually stress the system in any way?<p>(they just bumped the thread count from 16 to 18 for me in 1.0)

Still no way to set read/write permissions on a user-by-user basis? Makes it difficult to manage my less tech-saavy sales reps when they are always editing and moving files around.

Mmh, Dropbox may be at 1.0, but their site makes me download nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7.tar.bz2. Confusing.

I hope 2.0 is dropbox for your house.

One thing I'd hope Dropbox does well is not get stuck with syncing when a program is running. I had my evernote database file in dropbox folder but it wouldn't syc if evernote is on. It wouldn't sync if I keep my pwsafe on. I now wonder how is it going to handle if I selectively sync Firefox bookmarks. I have to shut down these programs in order for dropbox to sync, which makes no sense.
