About Corstiaan S.

@Dave @Adam, Guys guys, don't you think it's time to stop bickering and bury the hatchet? You're not getting anywhere in this discussion.  I'm getting out of this discussion anyway, making my final statement: I understand what Dave is saying: you're paying for the USE (storage, bandwith, lookup etc) of files that are shared with you, not the storage. And that's where we are disagreeing. Let's look at this analogy: someone says to me, if you want to borrow one of the great books I have in my extensive bookcase, feel free to do so. Dropbox way of handling this is having me pay for the complete collection of books that is provided to me, even if I've not even read or borrowed one of them. That's crazy.

@Dave And why the hell would I want "A copy of" all the files in my dropbox? Let's say a file is shared with 3 people. It doesn't take up 3 times the storage, does it? No either you don't understand how digital files and storage work or you're just ignorant. ... View more

I've read this a couple of times now and just cannot believe it. If someone wants to share a folder with me, it's their storage use and their responsibility, not mine. I couldn't use my dropbox anymore because a couple of people shared folders with me. So in effect I had stored NOTHING in dropbox but couldn't use it either. Simply unacceptable. I'm leaving Dropbox for this. Bybye Dropbox, Hello Google drive! ... View more
