Just bite the bullet and accept that any free replacement you do find is also going to have its downsides. Decent stuff costs money to develop and maintain, if you're not paying then you're doing a deal with a devil somewhere along the line.

Oh, I'd prefer to be a paying customer.

The issue is price structure. Github and Dropbox are great examples where I can be a Pro user and invite free users to collaborate, and it works great.

What we're seeing is a trend towards pay per seat with extremely limited guest capabilities if they exist at all. That's generally okay for businesses where $20/user/month is a rounding error on salaries. It just doesn't work for personal use.
