What new features has Dropbox been working on?
Forgive my ignorance, I used Dropbox a long time ago, around like 2012. Back then, it was pretty good — shared folders, gigabytes of free cloud storage, folder organization, etc. I haven’t used it in years and just decided to hop back on my old account, and I don’t really notice anything new? It seems Dropbox is doing fine — their stock isn’t performing too bad, they pay quite well TC, their interview bar seems quite solid. What have they been doing with this talent? What differentiates them from a Google Drive, iCloud Drive, MEGA, etc.?
They made a docs product called paper that was kind of cool, I don't think it got much traffic. I think other then that they focused on enterprise features over consumer because that's where $$$$ is?
They acquired Docsend.
You mean HelloSign. Edit: Nvm I guess they acquired both.
Working on charting their slow path to irrelevance.
Building enterprise-y features to try and stop losing their enterprise customers to Box
Mostly workspace and collaboration tools aimed at mid-market and SMB’s. Storage is still a big business for them but Dropbox is aiming to become a multi-product company (see DocSend etc)
Organically, Capture, Space, Replay, Shop, Password etc. Not sure if any one of them will work out though. Inorganically, Docsend, hellosign and some small acquisitions which will not become separate product. Not sure if any one of them will work either. lol
If someone wants to refer me to Dropbox, I would greatly appreciate it. 👀
