ARCHIVES Future?
🕑 Added 2022-02-19 08:28:35 +0000 UTCHey guys. I've been thinking of what to do about the storage limit with DROPBOX.
Some time ago, we hit a snag, when Dropbox suspended access via links, because of excess traffic, as a way to chokehold me and push for a paid upgrade to the service.
The solution was making a dual Archive at MEGA, and since the experience left such a bad taste in my mouth, I didn't feel like paying DB.
In the process, I had to "retire" my oldest works, for reasons of storage limit, and now that the limit is aproaching again, with my weekly posting, I was thinking about what to do. Even considering making one Archive for just old works, and the other for everything from last year forward, until I realized that while the space limit on Dropbox is 2GB, the limit on Mega is 50GB ...I could have sworn both were 2GB. To top it off, so far Mega feels better optimized and is less clunky than Dropbox.
So my question to you guys is:
How would you guys feel if from now on, we only use Mega?
Is there anyone that strongly prefers Dropbox, and why?
I'd still keep both for backup reasons, since these sites are always a bit of a gamble. It only takes one douchbag to set a house on fire and flag my archive. But focusing on just one of these would make the routine just a little slimmer. Plus, now that I realized how much more space Mega offers before needing to upgrade, I can include older works like before, in the form of zip files just to make it easier on everyone.
Let me know what you guys think! I definitely want to know if not using Dropbox affects anyone somehow. Not that I can think of how, but I want to be sure everyone can get access to the content with ease.

I wouldn't delete the Dropbox account or anything, but I'd basically stop updating it for now and focus on Mega, in case something goes wrong and I go back to Dropbox.
Upload the files to mega but without stopping using dropbox, at least that's what I would do

Mega makes more sense especially given the situation.

Mega all the way I, way better than Dropbox imo.
MEGA is good, yeah.
I'd go mega

Mega seems like the better of the two given your circumstances.
Go ahead with mega.
