Dropbox is laughably slow. Arguably the worst file-sharing client.
What year is it? Did the Internet just come out? Are we still in the infancy of sharing files quickly and efficiently? Dropbox takes (literally) 21 hours to upload 7 small movie clips to a shared fol...
1) Because you've misunderstood what Dropbox is - it is NOT a 'cloud based file sharing service'. It is a syncing program. It is designed, and intended, to sync things between devices. If you were baffled by that then you should really have read what you were signing up to first
2) the limit is 10,000 files or 1gb of data for zips.
3) How would you expect it to work - you delete/move something out of a shared folder to a random location on your drive what is Dropbox meant to do? How should it replicate that change to another users computer?
Thankfully nobody forces you to use Dropbox wsfilms - and after all, if you hate it that much you could always just delete your account and then nobody could share with you? Personally I wont use Google drive as I dont want them reading into my files to create adverts based on it or selling that data to other companies.

Garbage.
I've used Box, Synct, Microsoft SharePoint, and a couple of others.
I've used Dropbox for about 4 years and the company I work for has used Dropbox for more than 2 years. It's better than any other file sync program. Dropbox's main strength is its speed and reliability. That's why it's still the most popular sync app even though it offers the least amount of free space compared to others.
If you have problems with Dropbox I'd suggest the following.
1. Your internet connection (at one or both ends) is garbage
2. Your computer (at one or both ends) is garbage
3. You're stupid.
