[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1574211, member: 71075"] This is an important distinction as iCloud is very different from Dropbox. In fact, other than being cloud based services (storage of content offsite), there are no similiarities whatsoever. Neither of them provides the services of the other and they support vastly different platforms (iCloud only supports Apple products and Windows whereas Dropbox supports Windows, OS X, Linux, Android and iOS). It's frustrating that a collection of services that are supposed to minimize the problem of fragmentation ("the cloud" effectively making internet connected devices the same) can themselves be fragmented.
