I somewhat agree with you, but I remember how Steve Jobs said much the same thing to DropBox, but DropBox beats iCloud in nearly every way to this day.

- bhupy 6y agoYup, and as commendable as it was for Dropbox to beat those odds, I guess the idea is that Slack ought to do the same without filing a lawsuit. Dropbox didn't get to where it is today by suing Apple.
- ceo_tim_crook 6y agoI dunno I find iCloud on mac and OneDrive on Windows both to be much better, Dropbox is kind of annoying on the desktop tbh
- larrik 6y agoExcept price. $10/month minimum is a steep cliff, and I just can't justify it.
- magicalhippo 6y agoIndeed. I'm near the 5GB limit, and Dropbox keeps annoying me about paying, but for 10/mo I'd rather go with OneDrive and get Office along for the ride. Not that I need 1TB of cloud storage at all, which is why I haven't committed to either yet.
- mercer 6y agoA few years ago I'd have agreed, but I actually stopped using Dropbox because both Apple and Google offer something that is finally 'good enough' and I couldn't justify 10 euro a month for a tiny bit of convenience. And at least anecdotally, Dropbox has completely disappeared in the world around me. I used to get links to stuff in someone's public folder, or be added to a company/person's dropbox to collaborate, and all of that's gone now. It's usually Google Drive, sending stuff around on Slack (which I'm not a fan of), or back to email attachments. Maybe that's just very particular to my situation, but considering the variety of people I interact with as a freelancer/consultant, it doesn't bode well for Dropbox in NL at least.
