>We’re always looking for ways to make Dropbox better for you

Like by reducing the number of linkable devices from infinity to 3 for free accounts? I was enjoying my free 16GB of space from referring two dozen of my friends and family members. Guess how many angry text messages and e-mails I've received.

Hint: way more than enough to preclude me from recommending Dropbox to anyone ever again.

Same here. Replaced Dropbox with Resilio Sync. It's really beyond the pale to retroactively cripple existing accounts. And their website still claims "Sync files across devices" as a feature for free accounts, which I'd consider a lie ("Sync files across devices", which is the entire point of having Dropbox at all, is very different from "Sync files across three devices")
