- twoodfin 2y agoSure, that was a great feature in 2007. (S3 existed when Dropbox was founded, FWIW.) It eventually stopped being a differentiating source of value, and trying to out-commodity the CSP’s on storage cost at scale seems like a bad strategy to bring value back to the product. At tremendous effort you make it possible to lower prices by 20% or whatever, in order to keep the same profit on an undifferentiated product. Who cares?
