Why?

Why do you need more people when you grow past a certain size? At Drop box's scale they surely must manage their backend at scale and not have people babysit servers. If DBX are using Amazon's S3 for storage then that's one less massive headache to take care of.

Just for comparison, Instagram had 13 employees when they sold to FBK and they sure had scale at that point.
