A few weeks ago I was setting up my new laptop, and I found out that my (free) Dropbox account had gotten downgraded to only be able to sync between 3 devices ... ?! I have no idea how long they've had this rule, but I'm absolutely certain that I used to sync between more than 3 devices at some time. I mean, it's kind of Dropbox's thing to be able to do that. Three is also the absolute minimum to make Dropbox Dropbox. If it was two, it'd be a file transfer protocol between two machines. If it was one, it'd be storage. Sure I'm not a paying customer so I guess they can technically do this ... But to silently downgrade a user's account to what basically amounts to the minimal setting to demo the service, nah that's just shitty. It's just squeezing out my free account to convince me to convert to a paid account. Which I guess is their right, but the proper decent way to go about that is to make the paid option that much more desirable that you want to convert, not to squeeze out the features of the free users. Anyone know when this changed? (It could be years, I don't install Dropbox that often)
