I don't understand the relation between these propositions:

a) "Microsoft might not have control over it, but Dropbox will. For a 
business, that is unacceptable..."

b) "Basically, Sharepoint is something for businesses."

is the point that it is better for a business that Microsoft hold 
their documents than that Busybox does?

just seeking clarification.

(I have Busybox but don't use it for a number of reasons; I am not 
acquainted enough with Sharepoint.)
