I wonder how many Dropbox users are like me. I still pay for it, for one reason only: all the stuff I have shared with a Dropbox link. I set up Syncthing, and it completely and flawlessly replaced the Dropbox folder syncing. (It's actually way better, because the sync part is as reliable, but unlike Dropbox it also supports symlinks, meaning I can sync my active ongoing work, including stuff like git repos with uncommitted changes — no need to commit some unfinished work-in-progress before moving to a new location. Plus, since I'm not sharing my data with Dropbox employees and thus by extension the US government plus whoever hacks them, I can store even private data in the folders I sync.) But the "share with link" feature of Dropbox works really, really well. Want to paste a video into a bug report, but not deal with horridly slow JIRA? Just paste the Dropbox link. Want to share a 500MB cute video of your kids? Dropbox link. Want to paste an image into an HN discussion? You can't, but you can easily paste a Dropbox link. Giving a talk at a conference and want a few friends to critique your delivery beforehand? Record yourself practicing and email/text/whatever them the Dropbox link. I suspect (without evidence) that lots of Dropbox users are like me. I've shared hundreds of things that way over the years, and although it isn't mission-critical or anything, I don't want those links to go dark. So I keep paying. That's why I think their tiny 2GB free plan is important. If the stuff you've shared includes even a handful of videos, you quickly exceed that limit. In my case, if they upped the free limit to 25GB, I would cancel my paid service immediately.
