Reoccuring payments are easier/more reliable with other payment protocols. Bitcoin is great for payments initiated on the buyer-side, but not so great for seller-side initiated payments which are fundamental to subscription services. We're making progress, but its not there yet.

Good point. They would almost need access to our wallet to process the transaction.

What happens if I forget to manually pay the bill and lose something really important? Having automatic payments setup for the services I subscribe to IS convenient for the buyer....no?

Recurring payments in general are convenient for the buyer but "pulling" the money is mostly convenient for the seller. Recurring payments for services no longer used accounts for a large portion of any subscription based services revenue. People forget to turn off the billing when they stop using a service. Buyers can set up recurring payments through Bill Pay at their bank just as easily to "push" money to services they use. Perhaps there is, or should be, a similar Bitcoin service to send payments to an address periodically. As far as how long they should keep your data, that should be laid out in the terms of service. If you don't pay and lose your data, that's on you. This could happen anyway if your credit card is declined for some reason.

Meh they may be ignoring it but it's a sore thumb that sticks out and will make people look Then again maybe they are just waiting on NSA approval http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jun/06/us-tech-giants-nsa-data"The NSA document indicates that it is planning to add Dropbox as a PRISM provider. The agency also seeks, in its words, to "expand collection services from existing providers."

I'm finding it more difficult now to find people that haven't heard about Bitcoin because of all the mainstream media stories in the last year. I'm also finding it more difficult to find anyone willing to try Bitcoin because of all the mainstream media stories in the last year. The small group of people I know that are willing to try it now are the radical ones that would eat a steaming dog turd if you told them it would eliminate the government.

There isn't anyone left that really believes this is going to happen, right? Quoted to have a good laugh if when it's there. It will be at least several more months from now, or even several years if the folks at Dropbox are really stupid. But it's going to happen. ← Feel free to quote this too.
