The problem is not Dropbox being "a feature, not a product". It's a perfectly fine product, but it's hard to compete with products given away as loss leaders by companies who have other sources of revenue.
- danieldk 12y agoThat's why people should stick with Dropbox (or others like SpiderOak). Because the companies who give it away as loss leaders will probably neglect their products or index your data for advertising, etc. (Perhaps with the exception of Microsoft, who seem to want to sell Office with OneDrive.)

I wonder if Dropbox and Microsoft may start looking more and more alike. MSFT with a OS as a side business and Dropbox with an office suite as a side business.
