That doesn't seem unreasonable at all. There are plenty of power users like myself who do pretty much everything in Dropbox, and there are also plenty of tiny little files created every day that can count towards that.
For example, deep down in my Dropbox I have a Code directory, which has plenty of other folders for most of the personal projects I work on. If I create a rails project, that puts in a bunch of basic files which can easily count for 100. I initialize a git repository on there and that can generate a few hundred more files. All of those add up quickly.
Here's the results of a few commands showcasing the size of my personal dropbox, and I'm sure there are other power users who are similar to me.
ls -aR Dropbox | wc -l
74397
du -sh Dropbox
32G (Just to note, .dropbox.cache accounts for 10G)
- meritt 13y agoRight, so it's the latter -- People are using dropbox as an automated rsync. Which is fine. It's just fundamentally different than people sharing over a billion memories and moments each day, I'd argue their tagline is very misleading.
- codys 13y agoTheir tagline does say "create" rather than "share".
