Steve Jobs famously said Dropbox is a feature not a product. This feels very much like it.

  I think he was right - now you've got OneDrive automatically bundled into Windows, iCloud in MacOS, Google Cloud in the Google ecosystem and Dropbox down 25% from IPO with no growth. I get nagging emails from them every month or so asking me to upgrade to a paid plan because I'll definitely not regret it.

  Well, Dropbox is a sub $8bn company now that hasn't really grown in 5 years, so maybe Steve was right?

    If anything, your words prove he was absolutely wrong.

    Yea, I mean…if you’re only doing $3.5Bn in annual revenue at 83% gross margins…like, are you even a product bro?

  Looking at their stock performance and the amount of work they’ve put into features that aren’t Dropbox file sync, he appears to have been right. iCloud doc syncing is what DB offered at that time.
