So, not really then?
From the same article:
>The company also posted a narrower net loss of $7.7 million
Dropbox is still not profitable.
- jazzyjackson 7y agoI'm sitting here laughing like how can they report a profit, excluding some costs? what? Thanks for pointing this out
- dymk 7y agoIt is funny - but to add a little nuance here, it sounds like they're reinvesting tons of cash back into R&D. If they were not reinvesting as heavily, they would be cash positive. > Dropbox has demonstrated impressive growth since 2015, roughly doubling the number of paying users and revenue. Dropbox became cash-flow positive in 2016, but recorded a loss of $111 million that year after pouring money back into its product development efforts. https://qz.com/1214822/dropbox-is-filing-for-a-500-million-ipo-while-warning-it-may-never-be-profitable/ https://qz.com/1214822/dropbox-is-filing-for-a-500-million-i...
