Positioning	The original consumer cloud storage that pioneered file sync in 2007. Publicly traded, ~$8B market cap. Positioned as the alternative to Google Drive and OneDrive for personal storage + team collaboration. Distinctive for its cross-platform sync reliability and its business tier's focus on content collaboration (Dropbox Paper, Dropbox Sign after acquiring HelloSign in 2019). Priced $11.99-$26/user/mo. Losing share to Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 bundles but still profitable and cash-generative.	Canadian encrypted cloud storage positioned as the privacy-first alternative to Dropbox and Google Drive. Distinctive for zero-knowledge end-to-end encryption + Canadian data residency (subject to Canadian privacy law, not US CLOUD Act). Priced $8-$20/mo Personal, $6-$15/user/mo Business — competitive with Dropbox given the encryption. Popular with lawyers, healthcare professionals, and anyone with GDPR/HIPAA-adjacent compliance needs.
