Is Basecamp in trouble or out of business? Not everyone needs to be huge, and it's not always profitable to grow out of control. Sometimes the costs of growth exceed the additional profits. Sometime to pivot to a market that doesn't actually exist. But sometimes you make some pretty decent money with a pretty decent profit, even if it's not exciting.

But we are specifically talking about dropbox here.

I am sure they were not exactly aiming to "be small" raising million of dollars in multiple investment rounds.
