Monday, November 29, 2010 at 2:51 PMI can’t vote for Dropbox until they get off their butts and implemented their most requested feature (that every competitor already has) – sync folders outside of the Dropbox folder.
Everything about Dropbox is great (particularly its integration with a lot of other services via its API) but while it’s limited to the My Dropbox folder I have to keep using Spideroak.
My vote goes to Chrome.

Dropbox or Firefox???
Hard choice. I always considered Firefox to be more of a ‘desktop app’ and dropbox to be a web service – but it’d be useless without its sync app.
They’re both brilliant though – couldn’t live without either of them.
As bennythejet mentioned above – Firefox wouldn’t be what it is without the 3rd party addons, which aren’t created by the moz themselves (kudos for the extensive and functioning API though!), so I’ve given my vote to Dropbox as all their kudos go to themselves.

Google fan by nature I still went with dropbox :) Gotta love it being so damn simple :)

Monday, November 29, 2010 at 7:20 PMI didn’t vote. Pretty insipid list of general purpose general duty apps.
I guess dropbox has the edge just you could call the list most used. None are a leading edge.
