1 Reasons I don't like DropBox

DropBox hates you!

1. Missing Folder size - Why on earth is there no information about file or folder size? Zilch, nothing. Same thing when downloading, no info on the size of the thing you are downloading - Not helpful DropBox!


2. Folder content  - Why can't the number of items within a folder be displayed? Is it too hard to compute?

3. Cannot download folder over 1GB limit - What? DropBox, have you ever heard of zipping on the fly? Let users download entire folders please. OK this is fixed.

4. Cannot see what's inside your DropBox until you pay for it - DB you are telling that my DropBox is full, yet I cannot see what's in it. ??? How can users manage anything?

5. DropBox, loose the lame name, macOs has a Drop Box folder inside the Public folder of all Users. Very confusing.

6. Refer friends to get more space. Hmm, I don't think so. Why should I send my friends to you? So they can suffer like I do? Uh, uh, nope.

7. Recently Changed list of 15 files... Feels like DropBox was designed for people who exchange 15 files. I mean what's the point of paying for 1TB of stuff when it's difficult to track  more than 15 files?

8. 400% of 2GB used. OK, that's very useful thank you... Why use a % figure? Can't you instead say: there is 8GB in our DropBox, you have access to 2GB, pick you choice. But no.

9. Syncing to local FlakeBox, maybe that was fun at the beginning, now it's freaking annoying. Please forget the local syncing and deliver a proper file repository/delivery system DropBox.

10. Selective Syncing, could be great ... if it worked. Like if I could see the freaking 8GB files, out of which I could select 2GB worth of files and download/sync that. But no, no.

11. No drag and drop. Seriously? It's 2017 2018 2019 2020 DropBox.

12. The browser IU is retarded at this point, way under powered. Please make it better or close shop.

13. The DropBox app is too basic. Either make the app shine with functionality or loose the app, that'll make for some space on our hard drives, thanks.

14. MY DropBox is not the same as MY FRIEND DropBox. The files are uploaded by MY FRIEND on HIS/HER DropBox, they share THEIR DropBox with me, why do you want ME to pay for THEIR space? - And vice-versa. Because that's the only way, if you add the shared item to your DropBox, in essence you are duplicating the data, and it does take twice the space.

15. The whole duplication of files is antiquated, really, drop the sync feature (or rethink it) DropBox.

16. DropBox is freakishly, embarrassingly SLOW! Look at this download speed, 304Kbps??? ABYSMAL !!!

17. CrapBox uses sneaky inaccurate language to scare you out of making space in your cluttered box. For example it says "Delete" in the menu - SCARRY!! - But the language changes to "Remove" when you actually do remove the item from your box, it still exists on the person's box that shared the item with you.
