I hadn't read comments about Dropbox and products/features until maybe a week or two ago and somehow don't know the reference despite having spent most of the last 20 years in tech.

I presume the story is along the lines of "someone declined to invest in Dropbox and lost out" but what do I need to google to get the actual context? I don't need a full rehash here.

Edit: or is it "Dropbox is adding features nobody wants" and then turning out to be wrong?

Edit again: presumably it's not about "Nobody Cares" by Dropbox, the band.

The Dropbox thing is exactly what I was thinking of when I was writing my original comment.

Here is the reference: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224

The basic summary is that a HN commenter suggested Dropbox was redundant because you could do some convoluted setup that 0.1% of the world would understand and 0.001% would actually want to use (and yes, that’s still a few hundred thousand people) and overall that aged poorly.

Much appreciated. :)

Edit: shame it wasn't about the band and the song though.
