I eventually completely terminated the account and moved to Google Drive. I got lured into DropBox because I was an editor to a book that required DropBox to access manuscripts.

The way they were set up, I ended up having to upgrade to a business user given the shared file sizes I was editing (had something to do with the book publisher being on a business account as well.) I ended up paying more for DropBox than I even made as an editor. Brutal.

It felt like a mobile phone contract: seemingly inexpensive, sneaky, convoluted, and before you know you have a gigantic bill committed to for the year.

That is why i cut the cord on my cable tv. I dont understand how companies can accept the ill-will of bait-and-switch tactics -- is it really more profitable than an upfront deal where each party feels it was an honest deal? I mean, I dont mind paying...but I want know know what i'll be paying and decide accordingly. Cable TV is a virtual monopoly, but DropBox is not and I dont know how they can deal with ill-will from former customers, once bit twice shy.
