What's wrong with Dropbox comment? I still didn't find any use for this service, but rsync works for me almost every day. IMO Dropbox is useless.

That's just repeating the original ignorant Dropbox comment. Over 15 million paying users don't think Dropbox is useless. And hundreds of millions of non-paying users don't either.

Many people do find it useful, and the people who created it have become very wealthy.

I'm in the same boat as you, but there are more kinds of people and situations in the world than just us.
