I'd love to see a Dropbox IPO just because I'd like to take a look at their numbers. They have built an amazing brand but I'd love to see their revenue justifying a $4b valuation especially with so much competition in the space.

Box seems to have a larger enterprise brand which is where I assume most of the money comes in, but I may be wrong.

I've always been puzzled as to where the margins were in this. Any indication now of whether they are profitable or just downing on customer acquisition?

If they go public a lot of people will jump ship. At that point I will no longer be their number one customer, their shareholders will be.
