Comment on Genesis of requiring a "Dropbox folder," versus designated foldersparent

Comments

So the problem Drew mentioned, of mapping between different sets of sync folders on different machines, is transformed into mapping an identical folder hierarchy (i.e. the dropbox folder and contents) to arbitrary sync files/folders, done by the user, for that specific machine.

You get the simple, instant user model (dropbox folder), which you can customize to any arbitrary user model, as much or as little as you want, when you want it. And simple syncing.
