Dropbox was great way back then but now it seems like they are trying to compete with Microsoft Sharepoint and my Office 365 already comes with a 1TB storage plan.

Perhaps Jobs was right ... it is a feature not a product.

But they do it really well. OneDrive, Google Drive and iCloud Drive lack the polish and reliability of Dropbox for me.

All said, I stopped paying for Dropbox about 6 months back as I couldn’t convince myself paying $9.99 for something I was already getting with Office 365.

All I needed from them was like a $2.99 plan for 200GB and I would have continued to be a paying customer.

Apple runs iCloud on the Google Cloud, the right decision for Jobs at the time was to buy Dropbox.
Not everyone wants to be locked into the MSFT || GOOG || AAPL ecosystem.
