## What Jamie wrote

I’m not bullish on Dropbox. There was a time when I really liked their solution. The sync used to be butter smooth and it was great between various devices. Over the years though tons of competition has arrived that is more tightly integrated into other services. Meanwhile, Dropbox has bloated itself with odd features. I dropped the service years ago, and many that I know have as well. Sadly I think selling to Apple would have been a much better choice for them. Also, 11% of workforce is 315 people — they have 3,000 people? [Among Us has 4 employees](https://www.theverge.com/2020/12/22/22196330/among-us-half-billion-players-november). 😳
