They were (I think) first to market with fast, cheap cloud storage but at this point there's just too much competition and not enough differentiation. I have only the vaguest awareness of them trying to build some value adds to make Dropbox more of a collaboration tool, but I've never seen it get any adoption. I'm guessing those are the LOBs getting cut with this announcement.


I switched to OneDrive when it started getting bundled in free with Office 365. I also tried iCloud when it came in the Apple One subscription. Both are total shit compared to Dropbox. The sharing in iCloud is nothing short of laughable and OneDrive is just buggy Microsoft garbage (on my Mac - might be better on Windows). I am planning to move back to Dropbox which says something - I’d rather pay than use competitors’ products that come to me for “free”.

That said, I’d rather the company stick to its fundamentals with no further feature creep and focus on lower subscription cost rather than features to justify higher costs.
