No but full remote + decent TC is nice
Prestigious companies have an entire storage product in addition to their actual business.
Was it ever?
Its amazing that they are still relevant. I thought azure drive, google drive and all cloud native sync apps were sufficient for enterprises and individuals alike. What is dropbox even offering these days, file sync and search still? They did that in 2010.
E signature, they acquired the 3rd biggest in hellosign (docusign and Adobe are 1 and 2). They offer some other niche products too but I donât think theyâre needle movers. They dominate the self serve and SMB market, not enterprises. Currently attempting to penetrate the AI productivity market (look up Dropbox dash). But growth is slowing rapidly so itâs losing the battle for relevancy and will likely die a slow death like Yahoo.
Signs of impending irrelevance.
Nope.
It's rsync with a GUI.
I have a few qualms with this app: 1. For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software. 2. It doesn't actually replace a USB drive. Most people I know e-mail files to themselves or host them somewhere online to be able to perform presentations, but they still carry a USB drive in case there are connectivity problems. This does not solve the connectivity issue. 3. It does not seem very "viral" or income-generating. I know this is premature at this point, but without charging users for the service, is it reasonable to expect to make money off of this?
@Tesla just look at the earnings. Dropbox is actually very profitable.
Sinking
TC >>>>>>> Prestige
Yeah. Any place with high TC is prestigious
What controversies?
Not really a reason for it to not be prestigious, way more reasons exist tbh.
