Dropboxe is a silly neologism that only makes sense in the context of Dropbox&amp;#x27;s recent press, and not a good name for a product outside of this context.</text></comment>

It did make it a little confusing when starting to use Dropbox itself, as then you have &amp;quot;~&amp;#x2F;Dropbox&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;~&amp;#x2F;Public&amp;#x2F;Drop Box&amp;quot;.</text></comment>
