The marginal cost of providing an additional account to the average user is
pretty cheap. It is my understanding that the business models of most
"cloud" companies is to provide a little free service to get users
accustomed to their UIs, so that they would purchase a business license or
equivalent.

Dropbox does not make it's money through data mining or advertising.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
