Social networks are winner take all markets, whereas Dropbox is not in such a market. Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn are all trading at 20-40 times revenue based on the fact that they enjoy strong network effects.
- ghshephard 13y agoDropbox is very social. Go see how a lot of students in University share files with each other. A lot of them just assume that the other person has a Dropbox account. It's certainly how teams keep their projects aligned.
- nostromo 13y agoDropbox is not a social network, but they still have a (softer) network effect. For all of my personal syncing I use BitTorrent Sync. However, because a few friends want to share files with me, I'm still a Dropbox customer.
