I think you're on to something. If I were them, I would be working furiously on killer features that the others can't duplicate for whatever reason instead of wasting time on email and pictures. Cross-platform support is a good example, but only applies to OneDrive and iCloud.
Some stuff that comes to mind (unfortunately other competitors have gotten a jumpstart on almost all of these):
- Self-hosted solutions (for enterprise).
- Privacy features.
- Push hard(er) for app integrations.
- I like your idea of hosting games / apps. Storage upgrades will then go from a nice-to-have to a must.
In the meantime, their competitors are doing the same thing. Seamless cloud integration for Google Office, MS Office, and iWorks is hard (impossible?) for Dropbox to replicate.
