Dropbox user experience hasn't changed that much over the years.
Amazon, Google and MS are after users to absorb them into their other products and then merge or drop those products years letter.
My Dropbox account still works the same after all those years, I can't say the same of Google Drive/Doc SkyDrive/OneDrive/LiveMesh/etc.

I'd turned that the other way. Dropbox is a product while Google, MS and Amazon's dropbox-like offers are a side-feature of other business.
edit: Then there is the `brand` argument. Dropbox is solid.
Note: I am not convinced those arguments are valid in the business space but this is how I think it pans out for most `standard` users (free and paying).
