Who is to say they didn't do a "proper calculation" and result in something close enough to €99 that they just rounded up/down to keep things consistent?

That's ofcourse possible, but there are many many services that pull this trick, and I would be surprised if dropbox was the only one that did the honorable thing here. And even if that's what they're doing, they should realize it gives a very bad impression and maybe round up/down to a different price. Literally anything else would be better.
India as 37 languages and a mess of a country, I guess they are selling their product for 150% of the American price there?
But many products are sold in India in English only. This is manifestly not the case in Europe.
I'm perfectly ok to have an English only product with a 30% discount, but I can't find the option. (That said, looking at the streets in Seattle, I'm not trading my 20% VAT for potholes, crumbling sidewalks and aerial electric wires in a storm prone region, thanks)
