About two months ago we show HN'd www.zora.io - A tool to help landlords land and keep great tenants by using data analysis.
Since then we have head a steady 8% week over week growth. We closed a small seed round and added 4 developers to the team to work on the mobile app and keep improving the algorithm.
They are focused on physical property management. We are trying to build a tool that would eliminate a need for property manager (for the most part at least).

People need to be able to eat and survive during the development stage and there are only handful of examples of companies that switched successfully from service to product (Mailchimp, 37 signals and few others come to mind).

Dropbox kicks ass as "file system of the internet" but sharing files with people in a secure and private way with dropbox is a big pain.
With next release we will integrate with dropbox and Google Docs as well.
