If it was me I would have tried to highlight how dropbox is (will be) different from the cloud storage service the VC is using.

may he would have asked 'is it easily usable by your grand mother?'...answer would be a definite NO

And VC would have asked how big is the market for file sharing for grand mothers..

Just joking, but I find the parallel to usable by grand mothers quite amusing! A lot of products are usable, yet they aren't what grand mothers would use.

Then he goes to the next VC. There's lots of them.

It's quite possible that this exchange didn't happen but he amusingly phrased it like this to illustrate how the competition sucked.
