This is exactly how I feel as well. I just wanted a digital locker that I don't have to worry about. Now these new features on top of everything just feel like bloat to justify the higher price compared to similar services. I did not renew my Dropbox subscription this year.

What did you get instead? Did you find a good alternative?
I'm using OneDrive, mainly because I'm paying for office anyway. I was a dropbox user for a long time but once they kept pushing features I had no interest in I decided to switch.
To me that’s a bit ironic. You wanted a sync only product so you left Dropbox for... OneDrive and Office 365?
Not GP, but iCloud Drive works great. $2.99/mo for 200GB.
I generally like iCloud, but afaik it doesn't have the API integrations that Dropbox does (one of it's clear strengths)
So Mr Jobs said file sync was a feature, yet Apple sell it as a product...
can you properly use iCloud Drive on Ubuntu and Android?
