Yes! As a former Googler, Google has a terrible track record with hardware companies: Motorola, Nest, Dropcam, Boston Dynamics, etc. I don't see this as going anywhere.

Dropbox? Was there a hardware company of the same name?

  Big typo! I meant Dropcam, which was doing extremely well before it joined Google and then had a lot of issues with its integration with Nest.

Why do you think it is Google struggles so with Hardware companies, as a former Googler?

  I'm not a Googler, but my guess is, it's just not in their company DNA. They are and always have been a software company.
