#2Does normal Dropbox have “download notifications”? Is this any different than just emailing a link to a shared Dropbox file?

#3Good to see them finally doing something addressing actual user needs for a change, instead of chasing greener pastures. Given my informal observations over the years, I wouldn't be surprised if transferring large files was the main need that drives users to Dropbox - when dealing with individuals and companies outside tech, I frequently saw them giving the advice to "get a Dropbox" when someone needed to send them more files than fit in an e-mail.

It’s Dropbox’s new aesthetic, and it was already been discussed to death when it came out.

#6It's cool that they're doing something obvious and obviously useful this time.
It's sad that we don't have a better way to send files to other people than to create a Dropbox account, upload files, then send a link over email.
I've written https://filemap.xyz/ so people are able to send files and links without having to send URLs, instead you just agree on a common geographical location -- but of course this isn't the best possible solution yet.

Wetransfer, the competition this seems to be directly aimed at, also has a rich, designy aesthetic.
