I just ran into this because I use Dropbox sync with 1Password.
My 1Password standalone license is now limited to three connected devices as a result. Very disappointing.
Can't say I'll be giving dropbox my business.

- TheChaplain 7y agoUh, you didn't give them your business earlier either, because you were using the free tier?
- MAGZine 7y agoWhy would I give them my business now, after being kicked off? If I'm going to pay for a service, I'd sooner pay for Google Drive.

- goerz 7y agoAs a result of this decision, I will no longer consider doing business with Dropbox in the future, and I will steer colleagues and students away from using Dropbox
- pdimitar 7y agoOne could easily argue they would never become paying customers anyway, though.
- goerz 7y agoWhy wouldn’t they? They have in the past. I myself would have considered upgrading to a paid account if I’d needed more space then what I got from referrals. Now, I’ll stay away from them out of sheer spite for being treated in such a backhanded way.
- pdimitar 7y agoWell IMO we should treat Dropbox's new policy as indicative. Apparently many people were happy with the free tier and made it work -- me included; I initially had a big installers folder which I then offloaded to an external HDD because I wouldn't be able to have my more important files synced. So Dropbox figured out people would continue to freeload forever and devised a strategy to try and convert some. That's my theory.
