The absolute audacity of free tier customers lol. You were a liability on their balance sheet.

  Yea, I'd understand the frustration if OP was paying for the service, but this reeks of entitlement. If you are a free user don't be mad when the company tries to convert you to a paid user. A better example is how pushy Apple is with upselling their iCloud plans. I opened my laptop the other day and it auto-opened the iCloud settings app with the more expensive plan pre-checked.

    Dropbox makes constant notifications on your desktop about upgrading alongside emails. I'd have considered paying for them if they weren't like this but now I never will. Maybe they'd have an easier time being profitable if they didn't push away all their long term users.

      Are you suggesting that Dropbox could better monetize their free tier users by trying to not monetize them?

        There's a middle ground between aggressive nagging/spam/a sudden 3 device limit (not even at the same time, total) and no attempt to monetize.
