On mobile, it prompts you to either "get the app" or "open app" with no way to click past. Screenshot won't upload.

Dropbox's own website claims they have >700M users.

18M paying customers is a lot (and I wouldn't be surprised if in terms of percentage of data stored paying customers are the majority), but nowhere near a vast majority.

If you were to look at the average cloud storage usage per user, split by free or paid, I think you would find that free users are using rather less space in total than you'd expect

But I agree, I did some of their cute ARG stuff for extra space when they were still acting like a startup and otherwise haven't paid them a cent.
