      They literally were selling that. That was the thing they flaunted as a big reason to pay up, was the permanence of the file storage.

      If they werent aware of that, or its effect on their sales, I would be genuinely shocked. That would be like mcdonalds being surprised people wanted fries with their combo meal.

        And no, a mere mention of increased upload sizes is not enough.
