Super User IIsuddenly Dropbox is collecting revenue as if they're storing multiple copies. It's double-dipping that turns a collaborative feature into a revenue multiplier.
But it also costs Dropbox multiple times to do it - paying for the up/download sync on each share, the software development, the support teams etc.
Lets not forget that Dropbox doesnt have another income stream. It isnt like Microsoft or Google where you have adverts or other software or Apple with hardware.
An incremental charge might be fair. A total duplication is not.
While I appreciate solution suggestions, I'm not interested in paths that require me to negotiate special conditions with other parties - that's just life-sucking friction. Dropbox is supposed to be friction reducing.
Appreciate if the product management team is fully aware of this awkward situation.

They are - its been like this since its inception and previous official communication is that there is no plans to change it.
Obviously I dont work for Dropbox and things can change, but, I'd not expect this to if I'm honest. The only concession they've made is it not counting twice on paid for business plans. -
