>However, Google Cloud's compute pricing is reasonably similar to DigitalOcean (with sustained usage discounts) and from what I hear these companies will often negotiate discounts.

Given the storage usecase of DropBox what would be the percent of saving if DropBox indeed went with Google or Digital Ocean?
