Dropbox mentions Microsoft, Google and Apple as competition, because for these companies, file synchronization is just another feature (not a product). Steve Jobs said it himself: https://techcrunch.com/2012/01/23&

I care. My first car was a 1989 VW Golf GTI. Loved it. Second car was a Golf GL. Third car was a Jetta TDI. Ran all these cars close to 400K KM. Always loved the fact that VWs are built to last. Relatively cheap to maintain, and just the us

Product innovation doesn't always have to be a new feature, or a paradigm "shift" with new technology like AR. Smartphones could be due for a substantial reduction in price (there's certainly demand for that). Not just h
