Nice though Dropbox is, I don't have an account on it. You're saying that in order to share data between two apps on the same device, I should have to sign up to a third-party system to do so?

Then, if I have different kinds of documents, I should sign up to a bunch of different third-party cloud systems? Each sign up being another username and password, another point-of-failure for security, more management overhead? All for a system that won't work if I lose network coverage (rural, underground, airplane mode, choked tower, foreign travel etc)?

The cloud does have its good points, but I do not buy this snake oil.
