Age limit outside of the US
Can anyone explain why Dropbox has an age limit of 16 outside of the US and 13 in the US??? Kind of makes a joke of the Dropbox Family product for anyone outside of the US. Apple and Microsoft don't distinguish between within the US and outside the US for accounts and have 13 year minimum age requirement and obviously include cloud storage options (and much more).

Thanks Megan. Kind of helps but Dropbox seems to be following a one size fits all approach outside the US without regard to laws in other countries. For example, I am not aware there are any such regulations in Australia (where I am) that would preclude a 13yr old from being offered a cloud storage service and as per my original post, it seems that Apple and Microsoft don’t apply the same restriction outside the US. And if it is a problem, why can’t a parent approve access?
