There will certainly be some shareholders selling stock in this IPO, though it looks like for the most part the control is going to stay the same.
Dropbox currently has 500 million users and some of the users approximately 11 million are subscribed to the premium services. The company has also bagged some the of the enterprise businesses which make the company sustain in drought periods when the company runs out of cash. Dropbox at the start had the interest of spreading via word of mouth thanks to its dead-simple interface, but since then has started developing out new tools geared toward larger businesses, such as Dropbox Paper.
