I haven’t used Dropbox in years. Honestly, I’m a little surprised that they’re still around. There are so many better alternatives.

I also dropped Calibre recently due to it just not fulfilling its promise.
When Dropbox suddenly crippled my account several years ago, I moved everything to a much better Nextcloud instance and haven’t looked back.
what did you switch to over calibre?
I’ve begun just using PDFs instead.

They work fine on my devices, but everyone will have different preferences.

What did you go to from calibre?
I’ve begun just using PDFs instead.
Why were you unhappy with calibre? I don’t use the server part of it and only start it when I want to copy books to my e-reader.
The interface is clunky and it generally just doesn’t work very well for me.
Businesses love Dropbox because orgs can be set up and central management of accounts is possible.
That has been a feature in all of their competitors for 10+ years.

unrelated individuals pooling storage for personal use cases
So you have to be a business to use their business services? I dunno hey, if I pay for a service, I don’t see why me not being a business should be relevant.
No, I think they mean “friends” sharing accounts.
In the grand scheme of things, do I think this is an issue? No. But it’s their service to decide what amount of sharing is appropriate. As long as there is no ceiling to the storage limit, people will abuse it. That’s all I get out of this - they’re tired of people abusing the generosity.
I suspected this after I saw that post on r/datahoarder or maybe r/sysadmin
Which post?

Unlimited means unlimited, they shouldn’t advertise that if they can’t provide it

No, but I won’t stop myself after already getting two plates just because I’m scared the employees won’t like it, nor will I go right after I just had a meal
Ha yes just had a look. Seems like a funny thing to brag about when they’re not the ones administering the storage system!
