Looks beyond neat.
Questions I have so far.
Is that Growl notifying him, or Dropbox?
Was that guy saying "why do you keep sending me this crap?" on purpose or what?
And lastly, what kind of Internet does this guy have? Those uploads and downloads are speedy!
I'm impressed that it's so quick though, really. I imagine that when or if it grows in popularity though, server stress may increase, so it may not be quite as snappy.

Wow, very very cool. I would LOVE the ability to host images by simply putting them in a folder on my computer...none of this Imageshack or Photobucket crap.
How much will this cost once it comes out for real?

My three comments:
1) Looks like MacFUSE & MacFusion, but since I enjoy the concept of these types of programs, it's cool.
2) Yes, that's growl.
3) Vista looks like ass.

I use, and LOVE, a program called Imagewell that lets you drag a file to the toolbar where it resizes, FTPs and copies the URL to the clipboard all in one step. Makes things pretty damn easy, but I definitely would also love to be able to this also.

I want Dropbox so bad. It's the best thing I've seen since Evernote! Woot!

I **** you not... I was working on almost the same exact damn thing... I can't stop laughing. I guess S3 and the like are inspiring everyone these days.

There's gotta be a catch, nobody gives away stuff for free. Advertising? Data mining? There has to be something...

That cat looks far too intrigued to be paranoid.

Astronomy has discovered the schnapps in space. Someone, he or she, had hidden it behind intergalactic clouds, probably marked for safety by a creative hand, so the space cleaning lady will not take delight in it. Sometime the clouds will breakup for me, and the beautiful women waiting behind feed me with truthful truffles. Finally water me with the essence of their heavenly appearance, until everything glows ruby red around me.

In my opinion, it is both naive and foolish to not think about this sort of stuff. I'm not trying to suggest that this product will be a dud, it looks good, but before the slobbering ought to come a sober look at the bait.
