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 the 7 days, then again (after waiting 7 days) that there is a problem which however is not written by Nowhere.
We're really worried about that because they don't give us any timelines and the fact that the problem doesn't exist on the dropbox status page and that nobody else talks about it seems a bit suspicious.
I don't like writing these posts but we are really worried don't you think? Are any of you having similar problems? do they only have it with us?

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. 🙁- I don't need petabytes, I use around 60 TB per year
"Unlimited" in a reasonable fashion would be very doable.
By that i mean if you really need 1 Petabyte high available hot storage, then you need obiously to put more money into it.
Afaik hosting 1 Petabyte is half a rack nowadays. You won't get half a rack including the hardware for the price Dropbox wants here obviously.
But couple Terabytes a week is very reasonable and after couple years you also reach your Petabyte maybe but by that time the disks are cheaper.
When i looked at used Datacenter-Disks they want around 15$ for a 6TB Disk. With Profit. So for such a big datacenter-provider we talking here maybe about 0,5$ per TB as raw costs - declining.
When you then factor in deduplication, compression and what not - this is viable imo.
Touche, sorry forgot that part. Least they let you buy additional storage, though again, that's more for document storage, not trying to store Terabytes of files.
- Pcloud has not offered unlimited storage recently unfortunately.
- @ HWG-1
these are the same rules as on dropbox Pcloud seems to have a ton in their FAQ, that transparency is good to see off the bat.
Sync falls out for us, a member from my Team have write with Sync support.
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.
- What do you think of Pcloud?
