I mean... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44121671 informed you of exactly why this happens a whole hour before you posted this comment and the creator is chatting with people in the comments. I get that you feel personally cheated, but I really don't think anyone was deliberately trying to cheat you. In light of that, your comment (and i only say this because it's the top comment on this post) is effectively a stereotypical "who needs dropbox" levels of shallow dismissal.

I apologize for replying with my experience and not reading every comment before posting. This was not the top comment when I wrote mine.

This had yet to occur when I left my comment. I looked at their comments and it appears I'm the first person they responded to in this thread. Took me a bit to respond, but hey, I got stuff to do too.

I'll loop you into my response to the creator, which adds context to my question. This not a "who needs dropbox" so much as "why are you calling dropbox 'storing data without taking any disk space'". Sure, it doesn't take your disk space, but that's not no disk space... Things are a bit clearer now, but I gotta work with the context of what's given to me.

I appreciate you holding people to high standards. No issues there. It's why I made my comment in the first place! Hopefully my other comment clarifies what was definitely lacking in the original.
