I would argue that compete.com stats for something like dropbox are pretty inaccurate. However, that being said, the website traffic is probably much less than the actual growth. I've been to the dropbox site only a handful of times, but I use it every day with the file system integration.<p>I'd love to see a graph of their bandwidth and storage growth. I'll bet that would be a site to behold.<p>It's a great idea, and congrats to all involved!
Why is this the number one story on the front page right now?<p>Don't get me wrong, I love dropbox. I use it everyday. It's a really impressive product.<p>But 30 points at 9 PST on hacker news just to tell me that dropbox is doing well? Seriously?
Dropbox is tremendous. I use it for backup and for sharing files and pretty much for everything else that I can.<p>I've never heard of SugarSync. And Dropbox is still a lot below a site like Box.net: <a href="http://siteanalytics.compete.com/getdropbox.com+sugarsync.com+box.net/?metric=uv" rel="nofollow">http://siteanalytics.compete.com/getdropbox.com+sugarsync.co...</a>
As much as I like DropBox, you have to take dl.getdropbox.com out of the equation to get an accurate comparison, because dl is used for sharing files with third parties and even hosting files on the web.
Much more impressive, to me at least: <a href="http://siteanalytics.compete.com/getdropbox.com+mozy.com/?metric=uv" rel="nofollow">http://siteanalytics.compete.com/getdropbox.com+mozy.com/?me...</a>
Dropbox is one of my most important tool.
It allows me to switch between my linux and window computers without having to manually having to transfer data.
It is simple to use and understand.
Does Dropbox ever check their bizdev email address? We've emailed them trying to partner, and our users would all be paying users. Guess they don't like revenue.
