    Default Apple meets Dropbox head-on with iCloud Drive

    inShare

    At WWDC 2014, Apple announced iCloud Drive, a Dropbox-like file system for storing your documents in the cloud. Each app you use with iCloud Drive gets its own folder inside the interface, which you can access through Finder, and files are synced across OS X, iOS, and Windows. Even if you don't use any iCloud-enabled Macs, you can just drop in files and folders to sync them across your devices

    Meh. No competition here. It's not just the FS that make DB what it is; it's also the handy services that allow you to easily share links and folders, the wide range of supported systems (let's see iCloud on Linux and Android...), etc.

    EDIT:
    Apple doesn't offer an iCloud Drive app for iOS. In order to find files you've stored in iCloud Drive, you'll need to open an app that uses iCloud Drive storage.
    Lol. Really??? The thing is still restrictive on their own OS!

    Apple is eventually going to swalllow up and steal all the good ideas of the third party community until it has to eat its own dog food.
