Does anyone know how dropbox really works, or it is just a ftp client with a easy to use web interface and support for many plarforms?
I'm using dropbox as anyone else from here, but what make's it so useful to the programmers, even for those who are working on web-based apps and which have ftp access to a server by default?
Does dropbox come with a improved algorithm to facilitate file transfer for a better speed? Which is the difference between a ftp client and dropbox from a programmer point of view?
Maybe I'm wrong, and it is not a ftp client. Please correct me!
