It was partially this, although Dropbox was not nearly as entrenched in 2011 as it is today... which by extension means that cloud storage was not a given like it is today.
It's actually far more appropriate to say that we were competing with a culture where it's engrained in people to make those FINAL_FINAL2 versions on Samba shares. Or worse, to email them.
I am biased but I'd give our UX a 7.5/10, and if we'd have continued it would have gotten smoother. The FUSE wrapper was not the primary interface by a long shot, though... in fact, I'm not sure it was used by many people outside of our team, in the end.
