I don't understand why people are still using dropbox. pcloud is one time payment and much less expensive. Why would people still use dropbox?


Lifetime licenses for cloud services is the worst deal imaginable. Even if you're not getting billed, you still cost the service money to continue using it. It's basically the same as a freemium model, except when you get rug pulled later, you're also out the money you paid on a "lifetime" license.

Plenty of examples of how long "lifetime" licenses really last in the modern era. See TeamViewer for example.


rsync is free why would anyone use anything /s
