I really don’t see how new ai capabilities lead to big layoffs and new opportunities for Dropbox.
I can think of plenty. Text-based image search, "find the latest version of TPI report last modified by so-and-so", etc.
Which isn't to say that Dropbox won't spend most of its efforts thinking up features that most users plainly don't need or want, and in cranking out buggy versions of these non-features at the expense of their core product. Like all these companies, once they get sufficiently long in the tooth.
