Maybe. Here's a list of apps that are now threatened by iOS 5: http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/06/06/which-apps-are-threatened-by-apples-upgrades/ http://bi

  Does iCloud work on Android? Does it work on a PC? I doubt dropbox and instagram are in any danger because they have barriers to entry that Apple is likely unwilling to take. How many dropbox subscribers are going to go away? Probably not many. Could they lose a bunch of free users? Certainly.

    I don't have the data, but I wouldn't be surprised if DropBox had a disproportionately large market of users that were purely on the Apple stack -- and tended to share with other Apple users (when they did share across ppl).

      I highly doubt that. It'll probably be mostly Windows, a good mix of Windows+Mac, and some Linux.

        By disproportionate, I think he meant that there were more Apple-stack Dropbox users than (% of general pop on Apple)*(Total Dropbox Users)
        • revorad 15y ago
          I understand what he meant and my point still remains.

    Well, iTunes is on the PC. I'm sure Apple is already working on PC integration including Android.
    • danudey 15y ago
      It will work on a PC, but they'll never add Android support. Why would they? What's the benefit?

    The real question is when does dropbox get acquired. Whoever buys it will have a shot against Apple. Whoever doesn't, is in trouble.
    • zitterbewegung 15y ago
      A better question is can dropbox be acquired since it is already profitable..
