I use https://www.swisstransfer.com/ , which even if it only supports 50Gb and not 100Gb, it is totally free and doesn't need a account to upload the files. Way easier
How does Swiss Transfer make money? (As a Swiss, I love the sound of it. But need to figure out what their model is, otherwise surely if I'm not the customer, I'm the product)

I suspect the bundled OneDrive in Office365 is hurting them. Dropbox is better, but hard to justify if you already have something that's good enough.
I would have loved to use Dropbox, since they have a proper official Linux client. However, it’s impossible to have multiple Dropbox accounts sync to a single user on a computer (1). “Better” is relative to what you need. (1) exception: you can have one personal and one business account

I have the same feeling, OneDrive is garbage compared to Dropbox, insanely slow and terrible UIX and yet it is widely used. Classic platform move, bundle X with Office and it will be used by millions. Edit: I use Google Drive because of Google docs. sigh
If you need to send large files to someone, you can use Firefox Send: https://send.firefox.com/ The file is encrypted, the urls are expiring, it costs nothing.

Unlikely. I have seen 0 send links around and wetransfer is still king of the office. I'd like to see some numbers, though.
same. first time i'm hearing of firefox send. is this something new that mozilla is offering?
Dropbox and wetransfer/send don't serve the same needs and don't offer the same experience.
I could see Dropbox getting back into the office with that tool, they have a brand to capitalize on after all, if they drop the mandatory login.
Good to see them finally doing something addressing actual user needs for a change, instead of chasing greener pastures. Given my informal observations over the years, I wouldn't be surprised if transferring large files was the main need that drives users to Dropbox - when dealing with individuals and companies outside tech, I frequently saw them giving the advice to "get a Dropbox" when someone needed to send them m…

You need Pro to change the expiration date or set a password.
what annoys me is the password part used to be a plus feature[1]. This is why I've started to try to move things to be self-hosted. Unfortunately I've been struggling with nextcloud + my NAS due to filesystem constraints. And it's to avoid silly crap like that that we enjoyed the cloud services. Ah, what a loop!
