Um, how is this fair to say?
"It is fair to say every user is worth $40.00/year."
Seems like a very unlikely assumption. I know plenty of people who use the service, none are paying, where does the $40 come from?

Agree that the current accounts probably aren't worth $40/each - the valuation includes the technology, brand, and growth potential of course, not just the current userbase. But a lot of people will pay. Really, sharing big files used to be a major pain point online. Dropbox makes it ridiculously easy.
That's why.
All else being equal, wouldn't you pay more for a company with high growth potential than one with low growth potential?
