Dropbox solved a problem that we all had 10 years ago.

Today, for new users, it isn’t much of a problem because every platform (Windows, Android, Mac, Adobe, etc.) gives you free or integrated cloud storage. Many have multi-platform clients.

There is just no growth path left for their original product. It’s not a solution to a problem that new users have.

I still use Dropbox occasionally, but now iCloud handles 99% of what Dropbox did for me. I didn’t even choose to use iCloud. It was just there one day.
