I had the same naive thought today.<p>Perhaps Dropbox will open source the project and the community can keep developing features and maintaining it.<p>It doesn&#x27;t matter how much you are going to pay, someone paid more (Dropbox) and now they want exclusivity on the garbage can they are going to put this in.<p>I would love to see more companies shutting down services open sourcing them, but it&#x27;s a lot of work and once you decide to shut something down you want to also cut the losses.
