Who defines the "problem space"? Dropbox, or computer users? I would never claim to have 100% confidence in my ability to speak for users, but I think you underestimate the readiness users might have for other solutions to online storage (that might define the "problem space" differently).

I'm very positive about this upcoming paper and I'm enthusiastic about open source alternatives to Dropbox. Not sure what you mean about negativity. Why so defensive? Is Dropbox like Microsoft or something? Are we prohibited by some clause in an EULA from criticizing the company or comparing its software with competitors?
