I am not sure what you mean with pennies, they charge the same as AWS, and Dropbox just showed that doing everything inhouse saves them millions of $$.

- muninn_ 9y agoSure but when you take all factors into consideration it may not be worth the cost.
- epicide 9y agoWhen you are one of the largest companies in the world, millions really isn't all that much (for your infrastructure).
- IncRnd 9y agoWhat is the measure you are using for Dropbox being one of the largest companies in the world? In the beginning of 2017 Dropbox claimed a $1 Billion dollar run rate, however at the end of 2017 Dropbox had a net loss of $110 Million. When your entire year is a loss of $110 Million, saving $75 Million is very important to the companies survival.
