> I kind of resent paying for so much more than I need.

I wonder if Dropbox might make more money if they charged $10/month for 20 GB, because 20 GB is not more than most people need. (It would be a worse deal, but if the main problem is having more storage space than you need...)

> I am guessing you are pretty young. You will be amazed at how quickly your tolerance for such things decreases with age.

That is the point. As the value of your time goes up, so should your willingness to pay $10/month. This is price discrimination, with price points of $0 and $10.



I think you might have a point. Only now it's probably too late for them to do that, you can't take away what users already have.
