Sharing takes to long. Easymode it.
When I right click a file or folder in Explorer and say "Share with... OneDrive" this is what currently happens.
1) load skydrive page.
2) redirect to onedrive page.
3) click get a link.
4) click shorten link.
5) copy link.
6) paste link.
To truely replace Dropbox you need to fix this.
1) Load onedrive first try.
2a) automatically view share link.
2b) automatically shorten share link. seriously. se rious lee.
2c) automatically highlight share link.
3) i hit ctrl+c and go.

Not sure I understand what you mean by "Load OneDrive first try", but agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment here. The Dropbox feature of:
1) Right-click a file or folder
2) Select "Share Link"That's it. It's on my clipboard ready to paste into an email, Skype chat or document.
The point is to make it a single click action from the root of the shell. "Share with... OneDrive" is great for more specific and controlled use cases, but the Dropbox streamlined workflow is a killer feature for its elegance and simplicity. Two clicks on a file and an "Edit permissions" link is on your clipboard.

And to take it one step further, when i right click share link in explorer, you need to do all that crap automatically and drop a short url in my clipboard right off the bat without even loading the page. That is how streamlined Dropbox is.
