One of the AWS people at Re:Invent mentioned that Amazon is storing 8EB across all storage services (S3, Glacier etc.)
So 500PB is ~6% of that... Although I'm sure Amazon would have liked to keep Dropbox as a customer it's probably a pretty small percentage of their revenue. Also, if you assume that AWS is growing at ~50% year over year then 6% of S3 is only about one or two months worth of growth.
