What I like about Dropbox is that it just works as expected. It's trivial and it's well polished.

Dropbox is a great lesson in how ideas don't matter and how execution is king. They had the guts to compete with a dozen other players who were trying to solve the same problem, solely based on the confidence in their execution. Investing in people having the skills to execute, the guts to compete, and the resilience to persist, clearly makes better sense than investing in just ideas.
