This is just what Evernote did. And it was the beginning of things getting worse. I don't think I've ever seen a company improve after they degrade their free tier. It's always a sign of someone in finance trying to save a few bucks.

Don't they realize that a lot of their enterprise success happened because the people making the enterprise decisions at companies were happy free tier customers first.... When will these companies learn.

I actually already dumped Dropbox when they made their ridiculous decision to not support anything other than ext4 on Linux.

This is pretty much the last straw for me. I'm running Fedora 29 with ext4 so I could continue to use Dropbox but this limit will cause issues since I have an iMac, personal notebook, iPhone and a Gaming PC. If I reinstall it's gonna be a PITA. It would seem Dropbox is trying to pivot away from personal users and focusing on "teams" and business/enterprise customers.
It's good that with the help of 3rd-party tools (for example CloudMounter), this restriction can still be circumvented.
