Episode notes
Many startups are criticized for being features rather than standalone products, getting integrated into other platforms, eventually disappearing or getting acquired. This has not been the case for Dropbox, which has persisted for 17 years. The CEO attributes their success to the unique nature of the problems they solve, evolving from a simple storage service to focusing on providing distinct value in a diverse technological landscape, thereby avoiding being seen as a mere commodity or feature.
