Because you're thinking of Dropbox as the company and product rather than just a word, if someone searches "games" they should be shown results for games instead of an app or apps literally named "games", so it's important to rank metadata highly even if above actual app names.
- paulryanrogers 5y agoBut Dropbox is also a trademarked name. And 'games' is a more general term, such as for a whole category.
- ericd 5y agoIirc Apple was using Drop Box before Dropbox existed, as a place for other users on the network to drop files onto your hard drive.
- Dylan16807 5y agoThat sounds like a significantly different meaning to me. If they were still using that branding in a significant way, and treating an app that does that as a match, that would be more understandable. But that's not what the files app is.
- ericd 5y agoI’m not trying to defend Apple, just adding context around the discussion of “Dropbox” as trademarked term vs in general usage, even by Apple.
