What's the motivation for needing to use the FileSync API?

Surely users with Dropboxes that take up undesirable or larger-than-free-space amounts of space are a minority. Is there something about that minority that makes it likely to grow? Is it as simple as "Dropbox will add features to serve customers on paid plans even if those features cripple the experience for users on free (read: small) plans"?



tbh I suspect it's to keep using transparently-downloaded "online but listed in finder" files, due to Apple clamping down hard on kexts.

Which I honestly hate and won't touch anyway. So this is mostly just pushing me to finally leave Dropbox completely.
