Hi everyone in the thread. As you can see, the supposed Dropbox staff responding to these messages are likely just poorly-coded bots. That’s what they seem like to me, anyway. Because failing to scroll up and read the message history is a result of just that, poor code. I don’t know how to attract the attention of a real human being here. Me I’m thinking about migrating to OneDrive.

VicVegaA lot has changed in cloud storage since Dropbox in 2007.
"In November of 2012 it had 100 million users. A year later, it had doubled in size to 200 million. It was now poaching top talent from Google, Facebook and other big tech companies."
"Apple launched its own cloud storage service later in 2011, iCloud, but this didn't hold back Dropbox's growth. In January 2012, Dropbox was named startup of the year by TechCrunch, and in 2016, the company was ranked #2 on the Forbes Cloud 100 list."
Is this that same company?
