Why Dropbox isn’t dead yet?
Despite the opportunity they have zero AI/ML features when competitors like gdocs offer google lens, etc.
Earlier mover advantage… why would someone redo their integrations just to migrate if pricing and features are on par … btw who cares about fancy ML features if they just need basic storage/retrieval
Hi, we're also not dead
But I have never head of, seen or used your product. Are you b2b?
Op, stop being smug and ignorant. That combination is shit
Seamless integration, great price for any real amount of storage, etc. Google docs has a terrible interface for something that has been mostly a solved issue for decades now. I use Dropbox and have for years for reliable sync of a ton of files between several machines for my whole family. It works great, is reasonably priced, and doesn’t have artificial limits beyond space for sync. I don’t have any need for the web interface (besides rare access from other machines), either.
They closed a ton of office space and are fully remote. I’m sure the cost savings has something to do with their survival.
So did Twitter. They are near underwater. Cost cutting doesn’t substitute innovation. Such a lame excuse
“Cost cutting doesn’t substitute innovation” is a great statement that most executives doing layoffs don’t agree with.
Op talks about generative AI for end users, not some internal QA tool
That’s one which all doc editing provides including gdocs haven’t done to compete with Microsoft. Dropbox doesn’t have more basic ML like text recognition etc which all cloud gives out of the box
another day another idiot that asked the same question every month. Blind has plenty of discussions on this already. Just worry about the new 9k layoff instead of this.
Most of our customer base are enterprises - they pay us about half a billion to a billion a year. You tell me, how are we still surviving with that kind of profit?
Dropbox is dying a slow death. The next step, already in motion, is shifting the workforce to LCOL regions (Poland etc) to lower costs. Perks and high pay will diminish over time.
The certainty in your statement discredit any weight prediction would have
A product doesn’t have to be the best to survive. It can live off legacy customers, cheaper prices, and or obscure features that suit a niche.
Agree. What niche features they have and is their price better than other cloud providers?
Just learned recently if you require more than 1TB storage, their price is simply the best
