        (I'm a former user of dropbox.)

        Good services make change explicit.

        Dropbox seems to have degraded into incompetence. Unable to provide good services.

          Long time Dropbox user here. I would disagree. In my opinion they still have the best file sync platform of the big providers, easily beating onedrive and Google drive for reliability, especially with hundreds of thousands of files.

      100%

      It's 2026 and they're handling IT like pariahs of the stone age.

      Even they grey beards of the 70s would have worked that out easily.

        Oh it's probably intentional. I've seen efforts to simplify terms of service get rejected because "more people might read it if it's shorter".
