"Dropbox's performance may start to decline when you store above 300,000 files."
From personal experience replace "start to decline" with "not work at all." I don't have much faith in Dropbox's growth if they can't fix this.
- jamesaguilar 13y agoI think you are mistaken. Dropbox's growth will not be materially affected by an edge case like this. I doubt even one in a hundred people would want to store hundreds of thousands of files in their Dropbox.
- wikiburner 13y agoIf their long-term goal is to become the filesystem for all your devices, then I think you're mistaken. However, I'm sure Dropbox will be able to resolve this issue before it becomes more commonplace.
