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 ...

Hi everyone, 
 
Thank you for your feedback and patience as we’ve been actively working to address accelerated storage demand and ensure all our customers have a reliable experience with Dropbox. As a result, we’re moving to a metered storage policy on our Dropbox Advanced plan. There is no action required today from the vast majority of our customers, who will be able to keep their existing storage and more for up to five years at no additional charge. You can read about the changes and why we're making them on our blog here. 
 
We appreciate you being part of the Dropbox community and are committed to making this transition as seamless as possible.

Hi DBXCommunity 

I think new business customers will consider using Google Workspace Enterprise Plus instead of Dropbox Advance.
Because G.Workspace has 5TB pool/user. And increase 5TB pool/user every 90 days.
And I'm using with 20TB pool/user. With 10 users, I have 200TB in Google Workspace Enterprise Plus. And will continue to increase 5TB/user every 90 days.

In the new dropbox policy. I don't think there's much reason to stay with 5TB/user.

Previously I was hoping, dropbox would be limited to 35-50TB/user. and we will increase the storage by adding new user.
I am really disappointed by the new policy.

    I hope you grant the 35 TB per User for old accounts.

    This would actually be still adequate for our business.  

    But at the moment we are in low 20TB capacity for _the whole company/account_, which is not a good price at all.
