Dropbox Says It Has No Plans To Charge Developers (Or Otherwise Change Its Business Model)

One of the questions that came up a couple of times during the press Q&A at Dropbox's DBX developer conference: What does today's news mean for the company's business model? Given the impressive user numbers and platform expansion announced today (including a new API to sync data between apps), could Dropbox try to make money from advertising? Or by charging developers? Co-founder and CEO Drew Houston told reporters that's not the plan. Instead, he wants to stick with the company's existing business model, which involves charging subscription fees for pro and business users. In fact, he said that the simplicity of how Dropbox makes money is part of its appeal, because it means there should be fewer surprises down the road.
