How is Dropbox doing by the way? Are they in good shape?

They seem to be "out of headlines" for some time, which of course is not necessarily a bad thing...

Aren't they out of the headlines because they cut ties with the tech community? Hired Condoleezza rice, spammed notifications, made sharing without account impossible (or hard?), broke shared links on purpose, bought and shut down mailbox. And all of that plus very high prices.

They do claim to be profitable though, if I read that correctly.

You can share without an account no problem. Condi hasn’t been on their board in years. Haven’t heard about this broken shared links.

Their earnings were released last week. Their pre-GAAP margin is like 40%.

Pretty sure they lost to rsync ;)
