If you cancel your Dropbox membership now, you will affect their measurements as though you're doing it in response to this kerfuffle. I'm in exactly the same position you are — I've found a better service, so I'm backing up my Dropbox stuff to it and letting Dropbox idle until this blows over. I don't want to encourage political and moral witch-hunts in tech (or other) companies.

I think you misunderstood. It sounds like he's keeping his DropBox account active for a while until this blows over, then will actually cut it off.
Others are reporting that there is a box to state your reason when you close your account. You may be able to do exactly what you want without having another item on your to-do list (and without paying, if that's what you're doing).
If you want to, that is. I'm not advocating anything.

But wouldnt it make sense if you cancel your membership now to show your protest against this?
So you're participating in the "witch-hunt", you just don't want it to seem like you are?

No, my finding a better service is unrelated to Condoleezza Rice. Sorry if I wasn't crystal clear.
