"Google of file-sharing" would be a too heavy title to hold right now. The animations are there in the background to give the site a comfortable touch, but it should be easy to distinguish them from the actual site content (e.g the download button comes inside a "box" with a different background color and animated icons hidden underneath).

Perhaps it would be useful to add an option that toggles the animations on/off.

If hundreds of people are telling you the animations are too much, kill the animations.

If a small handful of people are saying it, ignore them.

But please, please, do not add _any_ complexity to a small-margin, intentionally simple service like this in the hopes of pleasing everybody.
