      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.

        Surely you can quote where the permance of file storage “was the thing they flaunted as a big reason to pay up”.

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