      Meh, they let you use whatever service you want, just not for some of the OS and app preference files - which are well under 5gb.

      If you want to back up your media and docs to Dropbox, go for it.

        I could join the 5GB club as well - after maybe ten years in the Apple ecosystem, my iPhone backup is 4.1GB.

        Separately I have 28GB photos that could be synched to any service

        I buy 2TB iCloud because I have multiple devices, share the space with a family of four, and use it for cloud storage from my PC
