Whoa, Dropbox yearly income is about $500 million per year. $2.5 billion income on a $6 billion market cap would be a much better deal.

Box is about $115 million income.

I meant "gross income", which is revenue. Not "net income", which is profit.

I was unclear and I apologize.

Revenue and gross income are definitely not the same. It's a very common confusion.
You are correct actually, not sure why you are being downvoted. I just checked and the definitions are:

"Gross income is that same revenue minus the direct costs of producing the goods or services (such as materials and direct labor)."
