Good point, I haven't thought about that. I wonder what percentage of content is shared, though. But this suggests one important strategy for Dropbox, they should immediately put more emphasis and develop better tools for content sharing to make their service more sticky fro people.

Is Dropbox's business model not dependent on customer acquisition?

Every business model depends on customer acquisition. I don't understand where you're going with this question.

It's a natural thing for me to think about because a lot of OurDoings users use Dropbox as their photo uploader.
