2 years agoReceived an alarming email this morning about how my files are about to stop syncing if I add even one more file and knowing that I still have a good amount of space yet, I thought it might be spam or a phishing attack. Nope, turns out it's from Dropbox proper and I was taken to a page saying that I had used 15.52 GB of my 2GB of space. And this was further alarming b/c I should have about ~18 GB after my years of recommendations to new users. Lo and behold, checking my actual account, I do indeed have ~18 GB of space in my account.
So, is this Dropbox demonstrating an inability to correctly count GB, which is pretty alarming for a service that's entirely based around storing data, or is it a malicious phase of marketing that we're in and I should just plan on finding an alternative to dropbox?
