- the free plan completely gimped with only 3 devices allowed to link
- the official Linux client effectively rendered useless as it no longer works on anything except ext4 filesystems (an artificial limitations added years after I’ve gone all in ZFS).
The new Dropbox clearly wants me to leave. Which is a shame.
I’ve always chosen Dropbox because it was the universal solution which “just worked” everywhere, while all the competitors had a catch here or there.
Now Dropbox are intentionally adding limitations making it non-universal, and therefore losing its own unique selling point.
