Dropbox has slowly but surely gone from a product I enjoyed and recommended to one that I actively dislike using.
Over that same time period, they have gone from being a consumer product to an enterprise product, because the money in file sharing software is in enterprise. Slowness, battery use, complexity, none of these are as important to Dropbox nowadays as they used to be, because they are not as important for enterprise sales.
- asdff 7y agoSwimming with the big fish is flawed from the start. Why do businesses use one drive? Because they have enterprise office and outlook for their email, and one drive was thrown in. Why do businesses use google drive? They use the google suite and gmail for their email and google drive was thrown in. If dropbox wants to compete with enterprise software they'd need to reinvent the office/g suite AND email services. They tried the former with dropbox paper, but it's clear that they've bitten off far more than they can ever chew, especially when your direct competition is google and microsoft.
