Wow. Unbelievable that they won’t give a specific reason. Do you think this is unique to Singapore or would they have the same policies in all countries?

Ugh. As a paying Dropbox customer I’m tempted to open a support ticket and ask them to explain this, but sounds like it would be futile. I would be so traumatized if this happened to me. 😢

I think it’s universal. Banks do the same when they terminate an account (or refuse to open one) because BSA/AML/KYC forbid them to inform customers of the reason. The rationale is that giving them the reason might help them circumvent the filters/safeguards.

I think the broader industry has taken this from the banks’ playbooks and just doesn’t want to create any surface attack for themselves, incl. legal disputes of that termination motive.
