>Someone from your university tried to scrape data from Google.

Kinda wild that someone scraping google's data would prevent me from getting into my PAID (>90$/yr) Dropbox account. That experience is a big part of why I pay extra to host my host data on my own server now.

Yep, that's how the internet works now unfortunately.

Decentralization, hosting your own stuff, is great until you run into DDOS attacks and have to make maintaining your server a full time job. Sure you have the skills (or can acquire it), but do you have the time ?
