Everyone here is talking as if it's a all/nothing game. I'm using both DropBox (to continue to share with existing people) and SkyDrive for my larger, private stuff. I was able to move several gigs off of DropBox (with no effects with current people I share with) and then downgraded my account. A 2 Gig should be enough for me to share with the people I already share with, and I moved several gigs to MSFT.
Personally, I think DropBox should have had a smaller, paid plan than the $10/50 gigs. I only needed about 5 -7 total.
Problem solved for now, though.
Edit: I should add that my gigs of stuff I uploaded to SkyDrive today took a fraction of the time that my DropBox uploads take (not entirely sure why, but I've always felt DB throttles large files when uploading).
