I'm still trying to wrap my mind around what makes Box so special. Is there anything behind it that a hand full of us couldn't replicate on the amazon cloud in an afternoon with a couple laptops and a pot of coffee?<p>Plus, isn't the file sharing market going to be shrinking as more of these documents are going to be created and collaborated on in an application native to the web?<p>And the Google Drive stuff that got leaked?<p>Salesforce/Marc have made some good investments with Heroku, Mashery, and a list of others but I'm not so sure how long box can keep this up. I know they're hiring aggressively though.
