Nice idea. It's sad that this type of feature doesn't come in the base product. Dropbox itself is extremely good at what it does, but it essentially only does one thing. Even things as obvious and simple to implement as "files remaining to sync" don't exist. Despite being a paying customer and impressed by its one feature, I have a strong dislike for Dropbox unless they start to add common sense feautures.

#12Sortbox (http://www.getsortbox.com) is a FI Incubated startup that gives companies a platform to review and organize job applicants. It replaces your email inbox for categorizing, organizing and reviewing people.

#13Looks useful. Wish there was a magic box like this that did the same sort of thing on my PC. e.g., movie file over 600MB, put it on external storage Vega next time it's connected, categorised by starting letter; MP3 extension, add to iTunes database without having to load slug iTunes.
Doesn't Windows have something like OSX's Folder Actions that could do this? e.g. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2350034,00.asp
Still on XP, but never heard of anything like that for Windows. Upvote for the info though.
