I don’t need the last two, but in my work I do use the others. Actually, there are more an Android phone I use for testing, and an iPad mini I use for reading occasionally. I have five devices linked to my Dropbox account: my iMac (my main computer), my MacBook Pro (my secondary computer), my iPhone, iPad, and a Mac mini server. It’s true that, for many users, this three-device limit will not be a problem, but for others it will. The problem here is the old bait and switch for years, Dropbox has promoted its free service, and now it’s imposing a limit.

(There is also a 2 TB plan, and a Business plan, for companies with lots of users.) Many Dropbox users don’t use the service very much those who do, and who need a lot of storage, upgrade to the paid plan, of which there is only one: 1 TB for $10 a month.

This is especially practical because many people need to work with shared folders created by, say, employers or clients, who need to share files with them. Dropbox became quasi-ubiquitous because if its free accounts anyone can sign up for a 2 GB account and use it to share files. Those who had linked more devices prior to March 2019 will be able to continue to use them, but will not be able to link any additional devices. Dropbox has announced that users of free accounts will no longer be able to link more than three devices to their accounts.
