Well that sucks. I have a paid plan for myself but I think it's unreasonable to spend $500 per year to get one for everybody in the household.
Our family share plan with iCloud only costs $3/mo for 200GB, iirc, and their 2TB is $10/mo.
Dropbox will probably have better luck getting more paid subscribers by offering more affordable plans. Something like $2-5/mo for individual 50-100GB and $15-20/mo for 1-2TB family. Even at those prices, they would still cost much more than Google, Apple and Microsoft offerings.

Not really. Free/old Dropbox just syncs the files so there's already a local copy on the PC. An internet outage is really not that different from disconnecting Dropbox while working on Calibre then reconnecting afterwards. Mind, I do keep versioned backups of Dropbox on my NAS.
