I write this after reading the next post about fDropbox inancial results. It worth to read, because gives the idea of a scale of their business and the outcome of the move. Having so many paying customers they really do not need to care for us. I hardly see profit of keeping accounts with no income if the service is well known around. Ad, after all the number of accountes is not decreasing. Actually I also did not close the account just moved with my data to another solutiun keeping dropbox as the alternative. On the other hand the income is not increasing rapidly, the groth more or "normal". So what they achieved? Was the decreasing of the operational costs worth it? I don't know. Mayby just their management changed (personally) or adjusts policy? I do not care. I am grateful for the past years but disgusted for the form of the introduction of the change. Reinstallation of the servixe on the same device is not a new installation so using it for limiting the accass to other devices is simply not fair. ... View more

No, that woild be fair. But even if for any (e.g. technical) reason one must reinstall it on any of the already linked devices it is considered as installation on a "new" device. So to be ready one should as soon as possible migrate to avoid serious problem when **bleep** happen. Don't wait, don't hesitate, migrate NOW!. Which is actually what they want - what for keeping users who don't pay? ... View more

That is not full replacement, because when one uses service like Dropbox there is additional level of security as the data a physically duplicated in a remote (and rather safe) server location. Once in the past my wife was writing her PhD thesis and put a lot of work into it, so she dutifully was making a copy on a CD every day. Unfortunally, when her notebook was stolen the CD was inside... ... View more

That is clear, so the only reason I put my post here was to help people like me (until yesterday), who believe in their lies - if I know what they did I would move my stuff BEFORE I hit the wall. So I spread the information as wide, as I can to let the users know how it works. Personally I have no problem with the decision made by Dropbox, I only regret I was misinformed what actually they did. ... View more

Well, this is your forum so I hardly can do anything if you decided to move my post. I can only say, that I intentionally started another thread, because the one you moved my post to is very long and started on the very beginning of the new age of limited devices. Because of this people didn't know how you actually will approach to situation like mine so believed in your lies. To find out what is going on one have to read (at least scan through) several pages. My intention was to deliver quick and clear answer for users like me yesterday looking for an answer on simply question "what if..." As I mentioned before for the sake of such a guys I posted warning on other forums, so more people will know what they should before bad thing happens. Of course providing service free of charge you may set the rules, but keeping - even now - unclear, misleading information about how it works is another thing. ... View more
