I didn't downvote, but it wasn't a productive comment -- it was just snarky and condescending.

I don't think this is front-page worthy of HN, sure, but anytime someone at Google/Dropbox/Apple does so much as pass gas, people around here get excited.

I've been waiting on this for a long time. Now Dropbox might actually be a viable, affordable off-site backup solution.

People didn't downvote you because they care about Dropbox Pro, they downvoted you for saying nothing of substance and sounding like a child.

More granular permissioning, and an increase in space to 1TB. Not bad.

Helping Dropbox grow is arguably the single greatest achievement of YC to date. I think in that light it makes sense that news about Dropbox gets on the front page of news.ycombinator.com.

I do not have a need of 1TB of space, just 100GB would do. It would be great if they provided a tier of 100GB plan (just like Google Drive)
