Yes, but when you switch to a new phone, get a new laptop, or perhaps just switch to a new SSD, you will have to un-sync older devices each time you want to re-connect to Dropbox. It ads one more layer of irritation I don't need for a measly 2gb storage, and the next option is $10 a month. It may be worth it to some people, but not to me :(

Does not bother me. I have 1 Tb of storage.

Try InSync for Google drive, this is probably a better client than the original Google client and even works on Linux!

Re: Dropbox now limits to 3 devices
I made my own "cloud" storage, I have a Raspberry Pi with a harddrive connected that runs Syncthing.
Re: Dropbox now limits to 3 devices
I, also, am just fine with DropBox. I have started using the free 50GB Mega as well (I'll see how that goes). I would try pCloud but 2GB is simply too tiny to be even worth a test.
My genealogy data/ resources and my collection of teaching aids for kids eat gastly amounts of space (well over 500GB). And, I really do want my data somewhere far away from my home office in the 'cloud' (I'm okay with it all being stolen since I just give the data away... security is perfectly adequate on DropBox for my needs.)

PCloud was offering 10gb free. Have they changed the free amount of storage?manyroads wrote: ↑Sun Apr 14, 2019 1:18 pm I, also, am just fine with DropBox. I have started using the free 50GB Mega as well (I'll see how that goes). I would try pCloud but 2GB is simply too tiny to be even worth a test.

Re: Dropbox now limits to 3 devices
I don't know but 50GB is about the min I can use to test a single useful dataset. :(
