Argh. I understand why they're doing this, but unlimited undo was at least half the reason I picked Dropbox in the first place:

  1. Put file that I probably don't need in Dropbox
  2. Delete the file after the sync
  3. Never worry that I just deleted a file I might actually need
Of course, I could upgrade my account to keep unlimited undo, but I don't need the extra space, and their price is pretty steep just to get this one feature. I'm probably better off versioning my Dropbox directory and sticking it on an external drive. Except I can't get at deleted files that are more than 30 days old that I previously put in Dropbox for the very purpose of not having to worry about them. Man, this sucks. I guess I have some extra work to do before August 1.
