I disagree. Their website makes it abundantly clear that this product is for employee productivity. The people doing this are well aware that what they're doing is hacky and costing Dropbox lots of money.

Dropbox probably tunes their systems to loads and access patterns seen in normal documents-based business usage. Not for backing CDN services and such.
