I personally abandoned Dropbox when they introduced a limit on the amount of devices you could use for free plans, and the cheapest plan was like 120€/year for 2 TB.
Back when I decided which cloud storage to use, all the big ones were at 1TB and dorpbox was the most expensive with the least features, while microsofts offer included office 365 for nearly half the price.
Right now it seems: MS 6$/mo for 1TB + Office (https://www.microsoft.com/en-ww/microsoft-365/onedrive/compa...) Dropbox 10$/mo for 2TB (https://www.dropbox.com/plans) Google 12$/mo for 2TB+some smaller things like calls (https://workspace.google.com/pricing.html?utm_source=drivefo...)
There obviously are smaller companies offering storage too, which seems to be around 4~5$/(mo and TB), eg https://www.pcloud.com/cloud-storage-pricing-plans.html?peri... https://icedrive.net/plans https://www.sync.com/pricing-individual/
Overall I'd say its not a terrible offer after the increase to 2TB, but on the expensive side compared to competitors.
Imagine if someone offered you gasoline for 50 cents a gallon, delivered directly to your car, but for personal use only and the minimum contract is 400 gallons a week.
iDrive is the only alternative I found that more or less works the same. Maybe Google Drive too but I try to avoid them (maybe if there was an option bundled with Youtube Premium...)
When I tried MS OneDrive messed up the file dates, Amazon CloudDrive did the same (and also got shutdown since). And Apple iCloud is just too barebones and not really meant for sharing if someone is not using a Mac.
Yep but it's mostly because I have many things which integrate with it -- loads of IFTTT recipes, apps, and sites that automatically sync things for you. If iCloud had a public API that people could integrate with the same way, I'd probably drop Dropbox at some point.

Very convenient that Brother MFC machines can automatically upload OCR’d scans to your Dropbox/onedrive/box/google drive account, but I would like to only use iCloud Drive. Wonder if Apple is dropping the ball on that functionality though.
They definitely are but I can understand why they don't want to be bothered supporting something like that. Plus I think the time to be starting that was about a decade ago...
It's pretty neat, but that's all I use it for these days. Still have my original 2GB account from when Dropbox was new.
Recommendations very welcome!
