Interesting. We both evidently did the same calculation when Dropbox started enforcing its limits, but ended up with different answers. For me, the time, hassle and money to run my own instance of syncthing or whatever exceeded the hundred bucks or so a year Dropbox wanted to do it for me. Wonder where our weightings differed.
- ajsnigrutin 5y agoI didn't want my data in the cloud, I wanted more space, less limitations and more flexibility in sharing (eg. share this folder with PC1, this folder with PC2, etc). ...but I had dropbox, it worked, and i was too lazy to move. The limitations from dropbox were a push for me, because limiting usage to three devices basically broke dropbox for me, and forced me to move to syncthing.
- Kwpolska 5y agoMe three. When Dropbox hit me with the three-device limit, I decided to just move my stuff to OneDrive. Granted, my OneDrive account has 40 GB free space (through various grandfathered deals), but if it didn’t, I’d probably prefer to pay Microsoft (or Google) $19.99/year for 100 GB rather than paying Dropbox $120 for 2000 GB (the majority of which would go unused).
