Dropbox used to be go to backup system.  In 2023 the system quit backing up my important files.  I can manually upload an important folder to dropbox and the files show up.  But, dropbox does not sync new files in that folder!  I checked dates and found that ANY FOLDER I created after summer of 2023 IS NOT BACKING UP!
I searched dropbox help files and all I got were messages, flyers and popups for me to UPGRADE MY ACCOUNT, even though I am at less than 50% capacity.

I started with google drive until that turned to junk, and now am dropping dropbox for the same reason.  I am just venting, I am sure nobody at dropbox give a rip if I leave.
