The icon looks a bit like a recycling symbol. This is not a good metaphor for cloud storage.
And no linux client.

No linux client turned me off of full adoption (especially when dropbox does support linux)

While Dropbox does support Linux, I could only get the client to work on the Ubuntu distro. Not saying that Google Drive is better (they don't even have a client), but that Dropbox Linux support is not so good.

I'm running it just peachy right now on Fedora 16 x86_64. Add a repo, install the package, and it bootstraps itself. It's quite clean.

`yaourt -S dropbox` on Arch Linux works fine :) Been using their linux client since 2008 or so, and I can't recall having any problems.

Seems like the general idea could be used on other distros.

It shouldn't be complicated to write a FUSE client, should it?
