I wish they had more choice regarding purchasing more space. I'm not interested in 1TB and find 10$ per month too much if I wont even use 10% of it. Although if there is a cloud provider I'd trust that sync would never fuck up, I'd be Dropbox.

Google Drive still thinks it's normal to re-download the cloud folder instead of letting me install Drive in the same location after a system reinstall, where all the files already exist. And to trust them 1TB with that behaviour ? Hahaha.

Your first concern often comes up in Dropbox threads. Of course they could easily offer a plan at 0.5TB / $5 or some such. They just don't want to. They'd lose more revenue from existing customers dropping from $10 to $5 than they'd gain by new customers going from $0 to $5.

It's not that Dropbox can't offer less space, it's that they're not interested in making the baseline price anything lower than $10. Put another way, Dropbox is perfectly happy to get along without customers who think the difference between $5 and $10 is something to care about.

You can get your free account up to 22gb using ehem methods, that's enough for quite a few use cases.

Your latter statement is just plain incorrect. Google Drive app will recognize your old files and re-associate them with the cloud counterparts. Its had this capability for over a year now.
