I really don't understand all the negative Dropbox sentiment these days. Who cares if the investors aren't getting a 10x return? How does that materially affect you as a customer? Why are you even cheering for that anyways?

I am a very happy paying Dropbox customer. It's a solid product that does the job very well and isn't stuffed with a bunch of other useless features I don't need. It's pretty much perfect.

Companies that don't satisfy their investors' expectations... they often resort to moves of desperation. And those moves are more often than not anti-consumer and even anti-business.
My last two companies invested heavily in dropbox and both ditched it for box.com within 2 years. Dropbox is "growing" their business while they're getting beaten on value by more than one competitor.
