This move caused me to DROP Dropbox. I almost subscribed when they announced this and got scared that a move like this is not a good thing. It could be the beginning of an unstable company for the long term. I signed on with OneDrive and just finished transferring all my folders there for backup cloud storage & access.
When I discovered the issue I decided that OK I find that really useful - I go out my credit card and was just about to pay for Dropbox subscription, until I noticed that they were removing it from the paid users as well shortly - so I ended up giving Google some more money to expand my Google drive storage instead.
