Something I don't get about Dropbox API: Why can't I just throw URLs at it? If a user wants to save , I have to pull it to my server and push it into Dropbox. Dropbox could just have grabbed it directly and in many cases, won't even have to thanks, to system-wide caching. (This is based on the last time I looked at the API; maybe this is supported now, but I don't think so.)
So Dropbox is becoming a more-direct competitor with iCloud. Meh. I'd rather they work on an end-to-end encryption system with a focus on ease of use.
Such an awesome idea. However, in light of the recent events the first thing to come up in my mind when I see "datastore" and a US corporation is "PRISM integration". I'd like to see proper encryption of Dropbox as the next feature, so that we - innocent users- are not uploading our data to the US government.

I combine dropbox with TrueCrypt for sensitive stuff. For me, that's just digital copies of important documents.
I wonder how Apple will react to @dropbox's new Datastore sync in the long run. Hopefully it won't pull the rug out a la IAP, UDID, OF, ...

So are you just syncing entire truecrypt .tc files to Dropbox? Does that work incrementally or does the entire .tc file have to get resent every time you modify a file within?
