Dropbox is playing catch up with Box in the enterprise so they're hiring salespeople like crazy in San Francisco, Australia, New York and Europe.

Why you ask? Obviously because storage will be infinite and free in the future. Google Drive for education is already completely free.

What that means is that Dropbox is shifting from a consumer to an enterprise company. We all know for consumers they're way too expensive - 1TB for $100 is way to much free space for the average person.

The problem is they've screwed up other things. Google owned Carousel with Google Photos. Mailbox turned out to be an overly expensive acqui-hire. Luckily that doesn't affect them that much because they raised a boatload of cash and have lots of customers.

Now will Dropbox go away or die? Probably not but they'll always be behind Box when it comes to enterprise features.

It's too bad Box and Dropbox can't merge. Box has crap sync and Dropbox lacks a lot of Enterprise features Box has.
