Box needs to monetize on enterprise add-ons. There's a huge pile of cash there if they hustle ahead and steal Dropbox's lollipop.

Further, nurturing and gobbling up feature plays. Gotta pull off a "Siri."

Finally, tons more integrations (other apps, more language sdks and some videos showing off some neat use-cases at open source conferences).

Having dev evangelists presenting cool shit gets people aware of your platform and it's free marketing, the best kind.

Further, Java, Python, Ruby, Obj-C, Android and C# isn't complete. [0] JS for browser front-end and node back-end is clearly missing or third-party. A somewhat smaller shop, Segment.io, has all of those and PHP and Clojure. And a metric ton of integrations comparatively. [1] [2]
