When Apple unveiled a whole which includes icloud, many users could not avoid the comparison with Dropbox. In fact, many others did the same when the service was born, being almost impossible not to compare it with Apple's iDisk, still active for MobileMe users, but less "ATR-asset", forgive the repetition, for most users Dropbox.
Dropbox now receives funding round of $ 250 million, and already has more than 45 million users, Forbes magazine released a report in which they had vaivienes account when the company founders had only two years old , and were called a meeting in Cupertino. To put this, MobileMe was launched in 2008, and the meeting was held in 2009. At that time one of the few who saw the potential for storage in what is now called the cloud was Steve Jobs. This summons the meeting in Cupertino with a clear intention ... but things did not go as Apple wanted ...
The first surprise at the meeting came when the founders took his laptop in order to demonstrate to Steve Jobs about the service. The late co-founder of Apple, made a cold gesture saying "I know what you do" something supposedly normal in the sense that Jobs probably was well documented on the service and I knew I wanted ... but ugly Dropbox by founders who were eager to show what they did.
The second surprise (again, possibly as a personal opinion) was for Apple. Apparently, Steve offered to buy Dropbox for a total amount of nine figures, but the founders rejected the offer. The aim of the founders was to build a great company, no matter who was the bidder, even if considered by Dropbox came from as 'hero' Steve Jobs, and no matter the amount. All he could do to rejection Jobs was smiling.
Dropbox now know that Apple did not sell. And we know how Apple responded to a product and service increasingly in demand, especially if we consider that the cloud is large but not infinite.
