"But that’s just Dropbox." The implication here being, "Well, if Dropbox can save this much, then think about how much everyone else cans save!" But in fact the opposite is true. Dropbox sells disk storage on the cloud. For them to do so by effectively reselling someone else's disk-storage-on-the-cloud platform is obviously not high margin, and they'd be better off building it themselves. So, sure. Anyone else also offering, disk storage on the cloud, or compute clusters on the cloud, or otherwise just reselling someone else's product on the cloud, will probably have higher margins doing it themselves. But that is certainly not most companies. So, yeah, it's "just Dropbox". Disclaimer: I work for a cloud provider, but these opinions are my own.
