No, because there are even today a lot more non-apple users than there are apple users and dropbox is platform agnostic.
It may cause them some lost sales but nothing threatening.
- tommi 15y agoAnd in addition, myself including, all apple users are not 100% apple users. I have macs, linux and android and dropbox works with all of those.
- benologist 15y agoThat's the big deal breaker really. You have to be pure Apple at home, at work and on your devices for iCloud to be a replacement.
- hboon 15y agoApple users tend to be more vocal about what they like. At my last job, by the time the company was acquired, 5 of the 6 people have switched over to Macs. So I think yes, iCloud will have its effects. Not yet though.
- revorad 15y agoDropbox's platform coverage is truly impressive: Windows, Mac, Linux (LINUX!! GUI _and_ command line), Web, iOS, Android, Blackberry. And it just works on all of them.
- brlewis 15y agoThe Linux support is a wise move by Dropbox for two reasons: (1) it encourages an eat-your-own-dog-food culture among employees who use Linux, and (2) it enables Dropbox integration with web-based services in ways the API isn't ready for yet. (File updates get pushed to you via dropboxd; you have to poll if you use the API.)
