Also, because they now have their own infrastructure, Dropbox has to remain organizationally excellent at managing, deploying, and modernizing it. It potentially distracts from other things. Wise long-term bet? I'm not so sure.

This is something that needs some time to get an answer. You can replace "Dropbox" with "Amazon", substract 15 years and have a similar opinion. Not so much now

I concur: its way too early to know if it was a good move or not. Which is why I get all eye-rolly about the current "OMG what a home run!" narrative re: their move out of AWS. Yes, short term savings so far. But, we don't know the TCO, yet, and won't for years.
