Thank god Dropbox refused to get bought by Apple, the same thing would happen to Dropbox what happened to Siri, they would close it and probably use it as a next iPhone feature only.
You really think that? It seems very clear to me what Apple would have done with Dropbox, they would have made it part of iCloud as they article makes clear.
But as I see it, iCloud doesn't really replace Dropbox as far as I understand it. They seem to be missing this Dropbox file system used for syncing which they had on MobileMe and DotMac.
I can certainly sync files with iCloud, but not by controlling a file system like one controls files on a OS X, but like one controls files on iOS. I do wish Apple had kept the OS X-file-system-like control for syncing as a part of iCloud, but it's hardly a large issue, as Dropbox is doing a wonderful job as is and iCloud is making syncing photos, documents, back ups, mail, contacts, calendars, reminders and bookmarks much more seamless then Dropbox would, but I like the extra control Dropbox allows me. I can't see any reason not to use both!
