Dropbox is a company with thousands of engineers. They should be able to focus on both aspects.

It seems Dropbox has an issue with execution. It already has a set of customers. They should be able upsell other things. They are trying with Dropbox Sign.

But other features like Paper and Photos don't seem to do well. Paper is deprecated, I think. Failing to expand to a doc-like saas is a very bad sign, when your customers use Dropbox to store documents.

This highlights a big issue in online discourse, the false dichotomy is everywhere. "why didn't they allocate resources in solving world hunger instead of uber for furbies" Because they chose not to, not because it was an either-or.
