Dropbox : Why is it popular?

Dropbox is a great cloud-based online storage product. Whatit does exactly.. There would be a folder. You'd put your stuff in it. It would sync. The best feature is that it is very easy to sync in all the devices and run in windows, mac or linux. Its totally painless and it just works. Dropbox works better when you're sharing with others mainly because it syncs to the cloud so you don't have to make sure someone picks up your changes. Also it does backups of every change, which is nice when someone in your group accidentally overwrites a file, or, worse, deletes the entire folder. You never have to think about version control, file sharing. You never have to wake up with the though you have to carry your USB device or share your files and folders. It does lot of things..

 

1. Executed a solid Free-mium model.
2. Rewarded users with more "free" storage by referring more users.
3. Easy to remember name and URL.
4. You can install the app in your CPU and it's folder syncs (easily) with the cloud account.
5. Multi-platform app (iOS, Android, RIMM, WP7 etc)
6. It uploads and opens documents, pictures and video.
7. Multi-user folder sharing
8. Cheap and effective business model (Paid accounts are reasonably priced)
9. Free accounts have no ads (how about that?)
