After you grow as a company and hire lots of engineers and your core product is "good enough", you have to try to pivot/stay relevant/compete/innovate I guess. Lots of manpower (I have no idea how large their engineering team is) need to be kept busy I guess?
- remram 5y agoThat doesn't necessarily mean that each of those features should appear as a different row, or even be different between plans. If you can't figure out a way to make a comprehensive pricing page, the amount of features is not really an excuse. This one is over 5 pages, with 5 different sections which don't even look triangle-shaped as you can usually expect from increasingly-priced plans.
- asaddhamani 5y agoThey have 2500 employees. Why does a single product company with a product that is mostly “done” need those many people?
- Salgat 5y agoThis horrible obsession with exponential growth. It's not enough to maintain a core team of engineers and pass on those savings on the price in order to gain more customers.
- smilespray 5y agoI completely agree with your sentiment, but it puts the company in a difficult position when your competition offers similar functionality for "free" (because you already paid for Office or their primary revenue model is different).
- MuffinFlavored 5y ago> This horrible obsession with exponential growth I don't know if I would call it horrible. Money makes the world turn. Capitalism and all that.

- baby 5y agoI would guess security is a huge part of dropbox and you’re never “done” there. The first dropbox-like that gets breached can say good bye to their spot on the market.
