I have no idea how to pin a number like $10B or any other on DropBox. I will say this:

DropBox has potential to be much more than about syncing and sharing files in the cloud. If they manage to come up with a useful enough "app API", they could grow into the backbone for the myriad SaaS apps where people worry "what happens to my data when 'tiny SaaS start-up' dries up and blows away?" or maybe more appropriately "who owns my data and how do I ensure it's secure, backed up, and accessible through 'neutral, well understood, and reliable means'?".
