You got the cloud functions for free initially. Now you have to have a subscription. Mine is still free - the pre-order buyers were left with a free subscription after that change.

Very frustrating because it hides syncing your data into 3rd party clouds, not just their priority one. So I can't sync with Google Drive without paying them, which is very weird.

This is not the case.

I was under the impression that this isn't so much "sync" as it is just enabling manual file management with these services.

Is that incorrect?

Isn't that an argument for Remarkable? You had the cloud functions for free and you've been grandfathered in. New buyers always knew that they'd need a subscription for that. Seems perfectly fair, even if you dislike the functionality (which is still very optional)

Yes, this is the correct interpretation. I'm baffled how this is getting spun as a bad thing.

I'm not complaining but explaining, answering the question.
