They really need to increase the maximum file size to be competitive. As a comparison, Dropbox files can be up to 10 GB each[0], and Google Drive files can be up to 1 TB each[1].

Its disingenuous to say that Dropbox has a file size limit of 10GB, when the first thing written on that page you cited says otherwise... The 10GB limit only applies to files uploaded through the web interface. Files uploaded through the OS/mobile client have no file size restriction. [0]

Good catch. I skimmed that page quickly and saw 10 GB and didn't look closer. Sorry for the confusion.

"Files uploaded to Dropbox via the desktop application or mobile apps have no file size limit."
