Let's just state the fact: Apple has never ever been great at anything that involves syncing. iDisk, MobileMe, iMessage, Facetime - none, I repeat, none of those products came or come close to reliability of such popular apps/platforms as Dropbox or Skype. The worst problem with them is that you never know when they'll work or no. You cannot trust any of them. I do not know why Apple despite spending billions on its new servers still cannot figure out how to achieve the reliability achieved by a small start up - Dropbox.
Steve Jobs was furious about Mobileme failure and fired the guy who was in charge of it, yet Apple still sucks at syncing. I just wish Apple bought Dropbox and Twitter and implemented the best in those platforms for iOS users.
You can't "trust" any cloud syncing at all. Dropbox is just as fallible as any Apple product. I've had no trouble with the latter, myself.

Apple tried to buy Dropbox. They refused.
