Linux is just 2% of the desktop market. Apple and Microsoft have good enough cloud storage + sync, so Dropbox needs to be even more compellling on macOS/windows to survive.
Their Dropbox Transfer offering is a nice alternate revenue stream for them. I wonder what else they can come up with.
- sdenton4 6y ago(And like 75% of the mobile market!)
- rodgerd 6y agoThe *ix userland is nowhere in the mobile market, and Dropbox is not a kernel extension. Google could replace Linux with another kernel tomorrow and it would be irrelevant to Android users; Dropbox-for-Android is irrelevant to Dropbox-for-Linux-Desktops.
- bayindirh 6y ago> Linux is just 2% of the desktop market. However, there are concentration points of this 2% which is beneficiary to both parties. Dropbox can target this 2% better and users of this 2% can use Dropbox to collaborate and sync their other systems which have more popular OSes.
