    Dropbox doesn't support network locations due to issues that have come up before.

Yep, I have seen that, but not all NAS solutions have that capability built in and some can be expensive or appear difficult for most "home" users to setup.  Just feel that there should be a move more towards providing an option that allows users full choice of NAS and the ability to sync to cloud solutions.  I fully appreciate also that this isn't just a Dropbox problem but it is where the world is moving
