    I haven’t used Dropbox in years. Honestly, I’m a little surprised that they’re still around. There are so many better alternatives.

      Businesses love Dropbox because orgs can be set up and central management of accounts is possible.

        That has been a feature in all of their competitors for 10+ years.

    unrelated individuals pooling storage for personal use cases

    So you have to be a business to use their business services? I dunno hey, if I pay for a service, I don’t see why me not being a business should be relevant.

      No, I think they mean “friends” sharing accounts.

      In the grand scheme of things, do I think this is an issue? No. But it’s their service to decide what amount of sharing is appropriate. As long as there is no ceiling to the storage limit, people will abuse it. That’s all I get out of this - they’re tired of people abusing the generosity.

    I suspected this after I saw that post on r/datahoarder or maybe r/sysadmin
