The idea of online storage isn't revolutionary. You are correct, there are several online storage sites.
But what is revolutionary, at least in my mind, is the idea of having a folder on your desktop that your online storage will automatically sync up with. Instead of dealing with clunky uploading mechanisms, I can just drag and drop my files. I haven't tested this yet, but I think if you remove a file from the specific dropbox folder, you also remove it from cloud. This is as opposed to uploading sites where removal is more of a hassle.
I know there are other cloud storage systems, such as Apple's, but those can only be accessed by specific devices (ie Apple devices). Dropbox is useable wherever there is an internet connection.
