I agree and I'm also a happy customer of Dropbox.

But how long will it be until OneDrive or iCloud Drive catch up? I have 1TB of OneDrive space for "free" with Office. I have plenty of spare space in my iCloud storage plan. If either of those two options catch up to Dropbox's reliability, why would I stay with Dropbox?

Long term, why will Dropbox survive?

Dropbox is much cheaper than either Office or an Apple device.

Office: http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Office-Personal-Year-Card/dp...

$57 for 1 year of Office + 1 TB of storage

Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/plans?trigger=homefoot $9.99 for 1 month of dropbox with 1TB (=> $120/year)

In addition to the points made by 'thesimon' about OneDrive pricing:

Apple's cloud storage offering includes 50GB ($12/year), and 200GB ($36/year) tiers. I'd bet 99% of Dropbox users could fit in one of those tiers and save a lot of money.

I have a 1TB OneDrive and 200GB iCloud, but I spend money on Dropbox because I trust them to be reliable. If the others catch up on reliability, where is the path for Dropbox's survival? (They're smart guys, so I'm sure they've thought about it)
