No additional space on Business Advanced anymore.
Dear community,
I'm here to advice that the support have been denying us additional space for two weeks, first telling us that there was a momentary problem, then that we had made a request before ...

Sync, box.com, most of the alternative are along the same lines as Dropbox. Can they really handle unlimited? They're not Amazon, Google, IBM who have the infrastructure, so makes me nervous they could pull the same stunt.

Box.com is not a big provider and have a hard API Limit. That is a problem.
But I think, that's where most customers are currently switching to.
And more customers bring more money to expand the infrastructure.
Dropbox wants us as customers apparently no longer keep. 🙁
- cgi_ltd3 years agoCollaborator | Level 10We switched to Box with 5 users. Their API is no where near as fast as DB, but all of us average about 40-50 / MB/s (500 mbps). While not as fast, we have over 200TB stored on their platform now with no issues. One thing you will probably have to do with Box tho, is setup rclone's chunker, since each plan has a different single file size limit. However, once mounted with rclone, it sees them as 1 file, and I can stream from the mount. So it's "OK". It will take longer to get your data uploaded with the slower API, but they seem to be ingesting our data just fine.
