Dropbox and why you should invest in people
I love dropbox. Dropbox + git is beautiful as is Dropbox + markdown (for writing).<p>But I don't pay for it. I'm somewhere around 5+ free gigs of which I might use around 30%. Normally if I loved a product this much which I wasn't paying for, but ought to, then I would. But I'm not stealing my account, so I don't really feel like I should pay.<p>On top of that, I use a different paid service for storing large amounts of files. It ends up being cheaper and I feel both solutions work best how I have them - dropbox for sharing/working and the other for offsite backups that just transparently syncs every night or something.<p>I guess all that to ask a question...how the heck is dropbox making money? Between the amount of free storage they give and the fact that there are much cheaper remote backup solutions, I just feel like I'm missing something.
