Since Dropbox was valued at $4b, I'd love to see what Amazon Web Services is valued at


Amazon is a public company. You can figure out what AWS is valued at by the market, by doing some math, and reading some annual reports. Admittedly, the web store portion of Amazon clouds that value, no pun intended...but you could probably take a look at Amazon a few years ago, before AWS became a major contributor to their bottom line, to make sense of the numbers.

AMZN currently has a market cap of $95 billion. It's safe to say AWS is worth significantly more to the market than Dropbox; as it should be.


Actually I'd be surprised if Aws makes up more than $10bn of AMZN Market cap. Which might mean Dropbox valuation is absurd. Or it might mean Dropbox is making fat margins in a consumer market, while AWS is making slim margins in b2b.
