Does Dropbox not use S3 as its backend? I would not be shocked to learn that it does



perhaps you should be a little shocked to hear if they are using s3(they are not). s3 is awesome but it's not supposed to be used absolutely everywhere.


Whether dropbox uses S3 or not is irrelevant. Dropbox and equivalents are much higher level products not replaceable with an object store.
