    I am in the design phase of an app that will have a component like DropBox. There's doesn't seem to be much info on their overall architecture. I'm guessing it's not much more than a folder watcher calling a WCF or MVC service. Any reason I should not follow that model?

      I'm pretty sure it uses a shell extension to implement the Drop Box folder. Shell Extensions are no laughing matter because they can be complicated.

      The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.
