Dropbox now requires login to download a shared file - eviltoast

On mobile, it prompts you to either “get the app” or “open app” with no way to click past. Screenshot won’t upload.

This is worse from several months ago https://lemmy.today/post/8935690

      Dropbox’s own website claims they have >700M users.

      18M paying customers is a lot (and I wouldn’t be surprised if in terms of percentage of data stored paying customers are the majority), but nowhere near a vast majority.

        If you were to look at the average cloud storage usage per user, split by free or paid, I think you would find that free users are using rather less space in total than you’d expect

        But I agree, I did some of their cute ARG stuff for extra space when they were still acting like a startup and otherwise haven’t paid them a cent.
