The last sentence of that comment is:
> I know this is premature at this point, but without charging users for the service, is it reasonable to expect to make money off of this?
I googled for 'dropbox financials', and soon ran across a TC article about its IPO last year [1] which says:

I'm still not sure that snarky 10-year-old comment was far off.
