No, Dropbox had a defined use case and solved a particular problem.
I was a fan of Dropbox when it game out because of that fact.
OpenClaw does not serve a particular problem. When/if it does, I will happily use it.
But no, the two couldn't be more different. You'll notice, yet again, in your very message you failed to mention one specific use case of OpenClaw.
If you asked me the same about dropbox when it first came out, I would've said, duh it helps me keep my files synced between devices.
There is no such thing with OpenClaw.
It gives me a pleasant interface to talk to my desktop from my phone. I can just send my computer a discord message and have it execute some arbitrarily complex task for me.
I talk to my desktop from my phone by having termux opened to a persistent tmux session that's sshed in to the desktop over tailscale. I have Claude running in the persistent session. It's 1 tap to open the termux app and I type my commands into a Claude session running in yolo mode. What am I missing here that would need one of these claw agents?
The question is what wonderful task do you need to trigger while you're at the grocery store?
You're hitting the nail on the head with this one, a solution in search of a problem lol.
