#22Me and my wife ended both ended our Dropbox Plus subscriptions last weekend (after being paying users for five years or so). As a side-effect, my mom also cancelled her subscription (since she was using it to share photos with us). The primary reasons: - Constant nagging in the user interface to upgrade to Dropbox Pro or Dropbox Business. Don't want it, don't need it. - Accumulation of a lot of UI clutter over the ye…
Did you switch to another hosted paid hosted service or are you hosting on your own?

#23At least the interface is still the same colors, instead of the gross palette of the blog and their rebrand.
The blog looks like one giant acid trip.
Totally agree. The first thing I found myself doing was staring at the silly animation on the top left for a minute, what a waste of time.
EDIT: Oh god the front page is just as much of an acid trip now.

#25Does anyone else see "work in progress" at the top of the page?

#26I just want my files backed up and sync’d across device.
iCloud changes look promising. May be time to ditch Dropbox. If only Apple would have a good app on Linux and let me run Mac OS time machine into iCloud.

True
Re: The new Dropbox
#28Dropbox is the worst offender of feature creep I know. Why would I possibly want to create new files in Dropbox?

#29The blog has a loading icon? It took 10-15 seconds to render for me.
Anyone else think this client-side app trend has gotten in the way of recognizing a great case for a server-side render (or even a cached page)?

Same. It isnt as nice as Dropbox as there doesn't seem to be any linux support, so I use Grive running as a cron job.
