- free2rhyme214 12y agoDrew didn't sell to Steve Jobs, why would he sell to Microsoft?
- jonlucc 12y agoIt's possible that it is becoming a more difficult space to compete in. There are now several companies (MS, Google) that can use it as a mechanism for lock-in or subsidize the costs in another way. If Dropbox wants to compete, their margins over AWS pricing will get very thin, and Google et al can still undercut them.
- free2rhyme214 12y agoCorrect! Actually what's coming is free or unlimited storage from MS and Google as Levie has pointed out awhile ago. When that happens the only way Box or Dropbox makes money is from businesses because MS and Google will want you in their eco-system.
- tptacek 12y agoPresumably because Microsoft will make a better offer.
- spain 12y agoI seem to remember them rejecting Google too so I highly doubt it.
