Dropbox keeps hounding me to upgrade to a paid level - back when they were incentivizing sign-ups with free storage for the inviter and invitee, I spin up several throwaway accounts and VMs to give myself bonus storage (I'm just over 21GB).
It's plenty for some critical secondary backups of wedding photos, docs, and an encrypted volume or two - but I absolutely cannot see myself paying for even their cheapest tier.
I have the free version on Dropbox with the free storage upgrades that they were offering at the time. I will never ever upgrade.
Same, I'm on 4GB because of people signing up with my link years ago. I was pleased to see I retained that when I dropped back off the paid plan - that's decent of them.
