Dropbox scam

I feel that Dropbox is nothing but a scam, they claim you have free storage space than lock you out unless you pay

    They dont lock you out. You can use it without restrictions as long as you stay under limit. Once over limit they simply stop syncing, but, you can still log on and view what is already there.

    Hey Zayan1952 - sorry to hear about this.

     

    Could you send us a screenshot of the page you get stuck on so that we can have a visual too?

    I constantly getting upgrade notifications even though I have less than twenty percent of the minimum storage, and I can't access my account anymore. No, a Dropbox error prevents me from sending screenshots.
