I'm also a Mac user. I use Mozy instead of DropBox, but it sounds like DropBox should get a place at the table. I'm about to download it in a few minutes.
I'm right now re-cloning my internal HD due to some HFS+ weirdness. I have to completely agree that ZFS would be a great addition to MacOS X, and the best imaginable replacement for HFS+. The file system and associated problems are my only complaint with the entire OS. I guess my browser usage pattern is just too much for HFS+. Of course, I'm the only person I know who said that Sun should have bought Apple 10 years ago. What do I know? Getting better FireWire performance on OpenSolaris would be nice though. Darwin drivers are open...hmmm.
