Dropbox has always been a bit of a mystery to me. Always eating resources, can't provide changelogs, and terrible customer service. File sharing services are a dime a dozen now, heck Nextcloud is free and does more than Dropbox. No one just uses Dropbox anymore unless it was forced on their phone through some backroom deal. If anyone tries other providers they wouldn't switch back, there is no reason to anymore. They have nothing valuable to offer at this point but they want to make sure to grab as much money as they can on their way down.

You're being incredibly mean-spirited in your comments.

More importantly, you're wrong. Lots of people (myself included) use and love Dropbox, and find it valuable.

You're not actually saying anything specific in your comment, just "it's not valuable". Do you want to offer actual criticism?

Just said.. it always eats resources, no changelogs, and customer service doesn't respond (even when I was a paying customer).

It just works everywhere it's installed, on every platform, and has a long history of doing so. For something as critical as what they provide, that's the most important feature.
