Doesn't Dropbox impose transfer limits? I've seen public items hosted in Dropbox become popular and then quietly inaccessible as more people tried to reach them.

Perhaps that's not the use case that's intended here?

I'd assume it's getting sync'd to a webserver, so dropbox isnt public

Exactly. Site44 only uses Dropbox for the sync, then serves out the site over its own infrastructure.

Very interesting idea! This is really smart and handy for small business or blogs. I wonder what Dropbox thinks of this idea.. maybe they should incorporate it into their own service?

Hi, I'm one of Site44's founders. Dropbox has been quite supportive in helping us to use their API. If you're curious how we interact with Dropbox, read our guest post on their developer blog: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/blog/23.
