Who wants to start taking bets for when Google buys Dropbox.
- old-gregg 17y agoSomething tells me that as far as acquisition offers go, Dropbox guys are doing fine. Probably just haven't found a perfect match/price yet. :-) My personal needs/habits don't quite fit their model, but as a technologist and entrepreneur I absolutely love Dropbox technology and their business model. And it's always a pleasure to point people to their website and inevitably get a warm "THANK YOU" back via email. Making people happier through software, even if it's not mine, has always been my reason to be in this business.
- hop 17y agoThe Dropbox guys have done a hell of a job and I use it everyday. I could see Google, maybe even MS buying them. The flip side is Google has more than enough resources to make it themselves and they could make it fit natively into G Apps. DropBox also has a lot of expanding to do - sharing other folders, etc. and it may be wiser for them to continue growing. I think a more flexible payment structure could make them a lot more money too.
- brianobush 17y agoMy take on a dropbox purchase would be to get an existing customer base - some of which pay for extra space. I guess google doesn't have an issue getting customers though.
- netcan 17y agoMaybe Zoho should buy it.
