Are things that bad at Dropbox? I know its user growth has been slowing down, but I thought it's more because they've been focusing on monetization. It does seem to me that Dropbox is a feature, not a complete product. If it goes away tomorrow, all I need to do is to move all my files from Dropbox folder to either OneDrive/GoogleDrive/AmazonDrive, and all is good.
I've seen some data sharing problem that's critical for business and I don't think Dropbox can help there. For example, we need to share (and work on) some very confidential and sizable datasets (think hundreds of GBs). After looking around a bit, we decided to go with an AWS VPC (two factor login required), and set up big Windows machine in the VPC, and everyone who need to work on the datasets have to remote desktop in. It's not ideal, but at least we can be reasonably sure that no one needs to make a copy of the data (one can not accidentally do that, and it's not trivial to do deliberately).
