I love some of the Dropbox features, but the thing that annoys me EVERY time I log into their website is that it wants to try and shove team plans in front of me.

I actually logged in just before posting to check if it was still there and yep. Giant popup in the corner of the window[1].

I have dismissed these types of notices multiple times. What I don't understand is WHY. Surely it can't be a good idea to harass every one of your individual users to become a business user.

I posted something similar a few months back[1] - since then, I have ditched Dropbox.

I felt like they really weren't interested in me as a consumer.

I have switched to OneDrive. I already had a subscription to Office 365 (Home), so I've not spent any extra. I can't complain so far. It actually feels like a consumer product.
