Dropbox has the most brilliant engineering team in the Valley.

But they've hired fairly weakly on the business side.

> Dropbox has the most brilliant engineering team in the Valley.

That's definitely been my impression having observed the company for years from outside and from interviewing there just a little while ago. Given their engineering talent, I can't imagine they'd lose the game entirely, but they might indeed struggle on the business side. I was really impressed with the sample of Dropboxers I saw and turning them down was a difficult decision.

After reading about all of the product's faults in these comments, I hope they don't have the most brilliant engineering team in the valley...
They even poached Guido Van Rossum(guy who invented Python) from google
