It's not that surprising that Dropbox is moving into this space. They kind of lost the enterprise battle, and are still very popular among arty people who need to share large files easily (and without caring much about security).

In a way it's a bit like Apple's move to cater to creative people after losing the enterprise to Microsoft.

They have some way to go though, cause the brand is not really there yet...

What is this based on? Not saying you're wrong, just looking for some evidence because that seems like a big claim.

Box and Microsoft dominate this space.
Box has a fraction of the seats Dropbox has in Enterprise. And when you add Dropbox consumer business, it's not even close. It's not clear wrt Drive.
Curious, who did they lose it to?
