Dropbox quietly adds three device limit for free users
- LinuxBender 8y agoCurious, will this encourage more people to play around with and develop addons for Mozilla's "Send"? [1] [1] - https://send.firefox.com/ https://send.firefox.com/
- awill 8y agoThis is just what Evernote did. And it was the beginning of things getting worse. I don't think I've ever seen a company improve after they degrade their free tier. It's always a sign of someone in finance trying to save a few bucks. Don't they realize that a lot of their enterprise success happened because the people making the enterprise decisions at companies were happy free tier customers first.... When will these companies learn. I actually already dumped Dropbox when they made their ridiculous decision to not support anything other than ext4 on Linux.
- broknbottle 8y agoThis is pretty much the last straw for me. I'm running Fedora 29 with ext4 so I could continue to use Dropbox but this limit will cause issues since I have an iMac, personal notebook, iPhone and a Gaming PC. If I reinstall it's gonna be a PITA. It would seem Dropbox is trying to pivot away from personal users and focusing on "teams" and business/enterprise customers.
- EliceGrey 8y agoIt's good that with the help of 3rd-party tools (for example CloudMounter), this restriction can still be circumvented.
