Dropbox ghosted me a while back, I guess they don't need advice on matters like this, so I'll just show up in the comments. Shouldn't the files remain on the hard drive even if Dropbox deleted their end? I switched to Spider oak for a while, but more because I wanted encryption at rest, I didn't have an issue with them beyond not adding that feature. I then moved to just backing up locally and alternating between two USB hard drives, one of which was stored in a safe deposit box at my credit union, because a one time fee for a hard drive or three encrypted using Veracrypt (then Truecrypt? Memory is fuzzy) plus a safe deposit box is simpler and cheaper. I like to keep things offline, and it was interesting when a bank I talked to about opening one in my new city was... oddly obstructionist about that ask. (Has anyone else told a bank you're an aspiring journalist, would like to purchase a small safe deposit box to hold your birth certificate, passport, and a backup of your files, then tried to have a will drawn up to designate someone who would receive the contents of the box in the event of your death, then had someone break into your apartment and very obviously look into your notebooks? I still don't have a good answer for that fundemental problem that devices can be hacked, but physical security is hard. Anyways, sorry to go on a tangent, but it doesn't surprise me that maybe Justin did something very bad, and they just want to end the relationship and not interact anymore, but I won't get specific in a public forum. Dropbox itself was kind of buggy for me, sometimes it'd fail at whatever their implementation of rsync did, and start filling my hard drive with multiple copies of my Dropbox folder, at best filling it up -- I suspect their shit code is one reason I kept having to have Applecare to keep replacing my hard drive. That or the assholes who kept blasting me with malware... I suspect it was the same set of people who were skimming credit cards from Mother Bear's and uploading them to the dark web, if any of the feds who cyberstalk me are bored this morning ;-)
