Dropbox's specific popularity on HN may partially stem from its original backing by YC. It will have enjoyed additional exposure here thanks to that, and to be fair to Dropbox, it was a good product.
I say *was because I cannot speak for how it is now, I do not have any data to judge how it is now.
I stopped using it a long time ago – not because I disliked it, I just picked a different solution.
I’m still using it, but to me their service has become worse over time as more and more features were tacked on that I don’t want or need… and they are really not listening to their users who want a better experience instead of more junk. I’m also in the market for a better alternative, but haven’t found one so far that is as easy to use as Dropbox. I’d prefer to not have to manage my own servers.
