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

That’s interesting. My experience is the exact opposite. Do you have any links to information on paying Dropbox customers?

It’s in the earnings reports: https://dropbox.gcs-web.com/financial-information/earnings-reports 18.16M paying customers in Q2 2024

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.

Free usage is still limited to 2gb unless you got a lot of referrals. It was a lot in 2008, but it’s difficult to daily use that in 2024
