Steve Jobs vowed to ‘kill’ Dropbox with iCloud

I am repeating myself[1], but that premise just fundamentally doesn&#x27;t make sense. A huge part of dropbox&#x27;s value proposition is that all your files are on <i>all your devices</i> (and available to all your apps on those devices).<p>Apple&#x27;s vision was&#x2F;is of a feature that only works on your Apple devices. That&#x27;s not the same thing at all, and isn&#x27;t nearly as cool or groundbreaking.<p>[1]: <a href="http://masonmark.com/why-icloud-cant-ever-be-as-good-as-dropbox/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;masonmark.com&#x2F;why-icloud-cant-ever-be-as-good-as-drop...</a>

I&#x27;m conflicted...i love OS X, but Apple&#x27;s other software efforts seem profoundly directionless. I&#x27;ll leave Siri and Maps out of this since heir problems are more likely due to the data gap against Google (or is it whatever software processes they&#x27;re using to wrangle data?)... But a standout flop to me is the App Store on iOS...I just don&#x27;t get it...when I jump from a URL to a store link, I&#x27;m taken to a modal in which if I accidentally tap outside, the modal is gone and I have no way to get back to that app page except by revisiting the browser again...modals are, I thought, typically used for quick web transitions, not actual landing pages. But then the App Store itself is so slow that speedy transitions are irrelevant...why is it that every action, from scrolling to searching to clicking is so stuttering slow in an application that is core to Apple&#x27;s mobile dominance?<p>I&#x27;ve never developed for iOS but the many complaints about CoreData and my own consumer experience with iCloud syncing doesn&#x27;t give me much reason to think iCloud will kill Dropbox by merit alone

And then he never actually tried to replicate the core features and use-cases of Dropbox.

If you want to watch Steve Jobs call out Dropbox by name: <a href="http://www.apple.com/apple-events/wwdc-2011/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.apple.com&#x2F;apple-events&#x2F;wwdc-2011&#x2F;</a> and skip to 1:22:15.

Unlikely considering that I can&#x27;t really see Apple releasing x-platform iCloud clients.

Dropbox&#x27;s success depends on OS&#x27; file system representation. It&#x27;s currently the perfect solution for the folder&#x2F;file system but new systems like iOS and Android don&#x27;t need a dropbox. I remember reading that Steve Jobs wanted to abstract out the folder&#x2F;file representation for a simpler and easier to use iOS. They hide the files inside each app and it is all synchronized by iCloud. Dropbox clearly is aware of this paradigm shift and that&#x27;s why they are pushing their new SDK and have a conference to promote Dropbox integration with any other apps.

Another article is posted to HN right now about cloud storage. It seems significant but I guess it is not worthy of the front page: Tencent will apparently be offering up to 10TB of free storage, hosted on servers outside China. <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6759714" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=6759714</a><p>Will they be an Amazon S3 reseller like Dropbox? Amazon storage is expensive. I do not know how Dropbox can compete with companies who build their own datacenters.

Steve Jobs vowed to kill a lot of things, including Android. As in the words of Larry Page,<p>&quot;How&#x27;s that working out for you?&quot;

One of the coolest features of Dropbox is block-level sync. Works wonderfully well with encrypted containers (not needing to upload the whole thing when you change a file in the container). I know Google Drive &amp; Skydrive don&#x27;t have it. Don&#x27;t know about iCloud.

5 gigs for free with dropbox and icloud isn&#x27;t enough.<p>I&#x27;m waiting for both companies to up their free storage offering, as Flickr now offers 1 terabyte to back up your photos and videos.
