I tried all the most recommended ones and Dropbox came up head and shoulders above the rest, for the following reasons: 1. It's free account is extremely generous – 2GB and no individual file size cap. 2. The automatic-syncing with folders on my computer makes sharing and backing-up extremely convenient. So from my perspective Dropbox has grown so much because it offers a much better service than its competitors. Interesting to hear about the 'secret sauce'; I didn't know that.
