Dropbox.com blocked by Google?

The quickest way to get this resolved is to make it a PR issue for Google.<p>One suggestion: "It has been widely rumored that Google is developing GDrive, a cloud based file hosting service. Today, Google has blocked Dropbox, a cloud based file hosting service which would compete with GDrive, from appearing in its index. Is it fair that Google can unilaterally cause its competitors to essentially disappear from the Internet, without possibility of appeal, for reasons known only to them?"

They've only blocked the secure site for that domain name. Might be because the SSL certificate is still for www.getdropbox.com

Since it is effectively a free and anonymous hosting service (files hosted can be shared publicly via HTTP), I can easily imagine it being used for distributing malware.

its fake.. Check this out <a href="http://safebrowsing.clients.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http://www.google.com" rel="nofollow">http://safebrowsing.clients.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnost...</a>

I don't understand how they can block a site this big and this heavily trafficked without even making an attempt to contact anyone.
