On: Cancelling Dropbox Pro is hard

[tgsovlerkhgsel]

Many people (me included) hold the opinion that you should be able to control your data, which includes the right to ask a company storing data about you to delete it unless they have a valid justification not to (e.g. they may have to keep payment history for 10 years for compliance reasons).

In fact, in Europe it's so many people that that's the law.

I hold this opinion too but I struggle with the high cost of accidental and unwanted deletion.

To delete your account's content I think here should be email verification or 2FA.

That doesn't automatically justify "scummy". Especially when it's a tiny amount of data.

And what about a company where you can clear out the few bits of data they have, but still can't delete the account itself?
