#2Good for them, I gladly pay the yearly fee for their service. Haven't had as much reliability with any other cloud storage service.

#3The “business” and “personal” dropbox combo can become a real mess.
Syncing quite often fails for small files too. I hope they will be able to pay some attention to these things in their nice new building.

#4Still one of the only providers of its kind to provide a Linux client. I wish them success in their expansion.

#5It's exciting to think ahead to what that part of Mission Bay and Potrero might feel like someday when the train tracks are put in an underground tunnel (for Caltrain and high-speed rail to the Transbay Center) and I-280 is turned into a surface-level boulevard (like Octavia).

#7I mentioned this to someone, but Salesforce had already publicly disclosed at least 714,000 square feet in 2014 for the (now) Salesforce Tower with rumors they'd already expanded another 200k [1]. I don't think it's a particularly meaningful number either way, as what matters (if any of it does) is total square footage in the city not in a single building / lease.

#816.8 acres sounds like a lot! But at over half a billion dollars for the development it sounds insane - about $44 million per acre. It really drives home how space-constrained they are. Across the street from where I work there's a 64-acre vacant lot asking $325k. I wonder how many stories of office building you could cover it with for $500,000,000.

i think they are shooting themselfs in the foot, a month ago after my samsung promo expired i lost my 30gb of space.
the only plan they have is 1TB for 8.25eur. my whole macbook drive is 512gb, and i dont like to waste something, so paying 1tb and using only 50 feels like im paying for all those using 1tb.
so i switched to hosting owncloud on my downloadbox at home, the benefit is that i can access everything downloaded thru owncloud.
if this does not work out im gonna try gdrive, they have a 100gb plan.
