Dropbox is obviously planning to go a different direction with its core product strategy, so that makes sense to me, but those products were too good to just let die. I'm sure someone would be willing to take them off of Dropbox's hands.
That would be the rational thing to do. I don't believe it will happen though. If it was going to happen it would before they announced they're shutting it down.
I just don't get how you can spend 100m$ on something and just let it die.
What did Dropbox get out of this deal?
