    Fuck DropBox. They’ve always promoted bait and switch plans and implied functionality that doesn’t exist unless you upgrade to a higher tier. They were deceptive as fuck to consumers for years and stole an unknowable amount from the public with their shady marketing lies.

    I hope DropBox sinks to the bottom of the deepest ocean. All they had to do was be honest with consumers about offering something solid, but they still just can’t bring themselves to tell the truth about a single plan they offer. Shady motherfuckers.

    Edit: Fuck Google and Microsoft as well. Sync.com has been cheaper, more honest and more reliable than any of these lying megacorp dickheads.

    Why does dropbox exist. For the same money Microsoft offers equal storage, plus office.

      One advantage of Dropbox is that it is not that integrated into Windows/office.

      I use Dropbox, albeit I have an old free account with much more storage than their 2GB base.

      I always wondered this too. It was a good idea 15 years ago. But, they don’t offer enough to justify the price. Literally everyone offers cloud storage now and a million other features too.
