Ah hah! This is why it is so brilliant. It's easy to assume that's the only way they can reach those figures.

They have already started to diversify their revenue lines: https://www.dropbox.com/team_create

$795/year for a team of 5.

Besides, in a day and age when a social network has 650M users, I don't see why it is conceivable that in 5 - 10 years Dropbox could have 200M paying users.

Apple just announced that it has ~200M credit cards on file. The largest stash anywhere.

In 5 - 10 years, that will look small in comparison to everybody else.

The more internet connected devices come out, is the more Dropbox's value proposition increases.
