> Given that Linux users probably represent the long tail of Dropbox customers ...

You also need to account for network effects. Every startup I have been at in the last decade went like this:

The engineers are using Linux, so for everyone to collaborate, a solution that works on Linux too is needed. That is a list of one - Dropbox, and they got their business accounts, and professional accounts.

Now Dropbox is dropped, or on the way out in all those places. Their lack of multi-account support (and I don't mean the nonsense they do pseudo merging accounts) also made it a huge pain anyway.
