Utterly unacceptable Dropbox moved the default location of the local sync folder and removed the option to move the folder to a custom location without adequate notification.

I may be using Dropbox to sync file between devices, but they're still my files. It's not okay for Dropbox to move them around on my local drive without my consent.
I was actually considering moving to a paid subscription. This incident has eliminated that possibility.
This (along with using the lamest avatars in interweb history) is exactly how great companies fail.
