MXDropbox scams loyal customers Dropbox is a good product, but their sales tactics are so scammy. They don't take care of their current customers. Plans on the main page are cheaper than what they offer their older customers. To get the cheaper plans, they make you fill out a form which leads to a sales call. The sales call was canceled. SO now for me to get the plan that I want, I have to wait until my billing period ends, cancel, and then sign up again. This is what happens when you let companies such as Dropbox have a captive audience. They wine and dine you at the beginning and then abuse you in the relationship later on.

GBDon't Use DropBox I've just cancelled my account with them. It appears they want you to pay for the service now, even a basic cost, so have switched to another provider. They can do what they like with my vids and any photos. This part I find cheeky and unprofessional: even if I DELETE vids and photos, it WON'T free up more space at all and, somewhere on their site, they admit this! This I found unbelievable and so annoying.

NLVery bad services Linking a private account with a teams account is easy, but the helpdesk does not help when disconnecting. A request for this has already been submitted twice, to which no response has been received. The problem is that I have linked to a basic account, but now have too much data for this. Upgrading the base is not possible because I am still linked to a teams account. The only option is a share provider. I think that's a shame, because I was always very satisfied with Dropbox.

GBDropbox and Apple Computers do not mix Never, ever put Dropbox near an Apple Computer, unless you want all your files scrambled beyond repair The software is impossible to remove from your computer, does weird things to all of your files, and forces you to reformat the iMac, MacBook Pro, or whatever device you are working on Seems to work ok on PCs - never had a problem - but don't ever put it near an Apple machine!

GBHORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE After recently purchasing a company I was unaware we were using this program. When it came time to renew, I was charged $3,500 to my card. I didn't know we had this program, let alone that it was renewal time, so the charge was a complete shock. There were 13 licenses on the account from the previous owner. Eleven of those employees were no longer with the company, and two of the the eleven are deceased (one three years ago and the other one year ago). When I called to rectify this (the renewal was April, I called in April), I explained our situation and they would do absolutely nothing about it. I have 6 employees that will use this program and now I have to pay for 13 licenses for an entire year. As a business owner, I would NEVER do this to one of my customers. While nice, the customer service is horrible. And now that I have gotten rid of those licenses for our next renewal (that I paid for) I have no access to them. So I am essentially paying for 13 licenses and I only have access to six. Highway ROBBERY!
