I doubt Dropbox gains much from deduping between customers, but I'd love to see some data to the contrary. Last I knew they weren't sharing that, but most of my data is unique to me and anything I'd want to encrypt is unique to me.

I think they do gain a lot from selling 2TB to people using 30GB and selling additional users of the same <3TB of data to enterprises. (That's gotta be pretty sweet profit if they have takers - $12.50 more a month for zero additional storage and a little more data transfer.)
