Anyone else really like Dropbox's design?

no.
Some of their internal projects are cool but as far as product goes It's the same stuff 90% of all north american tech startups are shitting out.
Dropbox has the worst UI and the most inefficient UX of all cloud hosting services out there, and it's ridiculous, considering the fact that they are in this business for such a long time. It is so unintuitive, so many crutial features that are missing; I could go on and make a list with everything that's wrong, but I'm just too lazy to do it. If you want to see good design practice that is first and foremost usable (since… you know, that's the mission of good design—not some cute and lovely illustrations) than check out Microsoft's OneDrive. That's how a cloud solution should be implemented. I can't understand why Dropbox is so popular in the first place. 2GB is laughable.

They were the first and loudest on the market.
Also cute illustrations.

Not exactly. Dropbox uses Amazon’s S3 service to store consumer data. And two years before Dropbox's release there were competitors like Carbonite and Mozy. But I guess that Dropbox appeals to tech-illiterate normies.
OP I was obsessed with the style until I found this. Still ingeniously refreshing.
