I am tired of this company. First they remove my ability to add more devices, and now this... Sorry, but the only use case I had for DropBox wad syncing my 1Password, so I will just pay them instead and use my iCloud and Google Drive and OneDrive accounts. Two of which I pay for (and should probably stop for one of them).

I just need something that minimizes vendor lock-in and works on all platforms. These days maybe that is, surprisingly, Microsoft.



They restricted devices on the free accounts.

So you weren't paying them anyway, while you openly admit that you pay for their competition. The chances of you becoming a customer where none to begin with.

I find your message funny because it reflects the consumer mentality. People don't blink on buying a venti latte from Starbucks, but prefer to be freeloaders when it comes to online services that keep their emails or files safe.

And that is why the Internet is full of services that violate your privacy via an ads driven model. Because freeloaders can be milked.
