How about giving us back the features you have taken away, and a lite version of your software as it is taking an unreasonable amount of resources on my (and everyone else's system) because of this blasted feature-creep. For myself, I don't want anymore features, I just want you to retain the functions you had, and not add anything more. Then I would pay you for your service, gladly. As it is right now I am constantly on the lookout for something that is like dropbox was for the first 5 years or so. SHARED PUBLIC FOLDERS that people can upload to WITHOUT A DROPBOX ACCOUNT. ACTUAL ANONY-MOOSE DROPBOX URL GENERATION AND SHARING, where I can edit WHO HAS ACCESS at a granular level. A CLIENT THAT DOESN'T HAVE 10 instances of DROPBOX.EXE that's using 1.07% of my CPU, 165 threads. It is the MOST RESTRAINED program on my computer by process lasso, being constrained 742 times, which is over 2 times what everything.exe (a better windows search) has, and it is what I use hundreds of times a day to find files in my filesystem. Dropbox hasn't had to do anything in that span of time. Not one file update. Dropbox is now an utter disappointment. I haven't used a single new feature except by accident and the new features always seem to show up as one of the CORE FEATURES of the product is REMOVED. I used to pay for PLUS until all the useful features were removed, I would have to get Professional to get SOME of them back, and the main features I want back don't seem to be available at all anymore. What happened to I click the dropbox icon, and my C:/dropbox file explorer pops up with my files. That is literally ALL I NEED, your basic functions circa 2009. I hate what you've become dropbox. OH AND ONE MORE THING STOP CHANGING YOUR ICON. WHY ON EARTH WOULD you CHANGE HOW YOUR PRODUCT IS RECOGNIZED?!? WHY? Has Nike or Adidas changed their logo? Give me the old blue box with white outlines so I can bloody see it. Now it's all-white, great. Just great. Who knows what it will be next month? Why don't you give me a MELONFARMIN -CHOICE- to retain the old ones? That would be too much customizability?! You sadists WHY CAN'T I USE OLD CLIENTS like USED TO? Dropbox you suck- This can't possibly be making you more money than you would make if you offered a "RETRO dropbox" that was actually useful. I'm waiting for an FOSS solution to come along and whip the llama's ass, but until it does, HERE I COMPLAIN
