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?

- At box.com, what does "upload files up to 50gb" mean? Does that mean that I can't upload a file greater than 50 gb?
API is important when you with third-party tools access.
- If you don't dev and just using dropbox or box or... , It will impact the number of transactions you can do. Dropbox is (afaik) unlimited for total api calls, but limit around 12 calls per seconds. Box seems unlimited per seconds, but you have some limits of xx calls per months.
could you please explain the API limit what effect it has on daily use, because i can't understand, thanks!
DP api ? Dropbox API ? Yeah the Dropbox API is slow and the Upload per file is by 12-20 MB's. Not Problem for me.
The Box API is faster, 40-50 MB's per File. Only the API limit is annoying.
- DP api is unlimited but it's slow too, in a sense that, anything over 12tps will be throttled most of the time.
- Does Sync.com have an API limit?
- It's not about going too slow, Box have a Limit from 25.000/50.000/100.000 API accessed.
- We 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.
Shamrock22 Agree. As you state, HDD's are cheap now and they can be packed into a rack. Seems like Dropbox marketing put the cart before the engineering team built out their infrastructure. Doesn't excuse the lack of communication and failure to live up to their end of the contract.
HWG-1 thanks for the info about Box. Cool to see the pieces of knowledge that each person has come together.
