> Poor business model: I refer to their freemium offering which is poor compared to competitors.
Okay, that's a start, do you think you can explain some of the analysis backing the opinion which you assumed everyone else shared?
> Security: If you think that's a judgement call, fine, if you think that the dropbox hack is a judgment issue.
If we stopped using any company which has had a security problem, we wouldn't be using computers. That's why I said it was a judgement call: one incident years ago is not much of a trend line so different people might reasonably have different comfort levels.
> Pricing: For Joe Bloggs, 100GB is generally enough. Google handily offers that for $2. With Dropbox, there's a cliff - a few gig for free or a terabyte for $10/m. Why no middle ground? Both Apple and Google offer scaled plans, why doesn't Dropbox?
Oh, now there's a valid question about the business model: perhaps they should have a middle tier. That's what you should have said instead of claiming that Dropbox was more expensive or whatever “the storage for the price just doesn't add up” was supposed to mean.
