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?

- Would you have a tutorial to connect box.com to rclone because I get an error when I try to connect. In addition, how to add chunky once the connection is made?
- I'm going to think a little more lol, but if DB continues like this it's not possible to continue like that 12 to a year for the price to pay ...., 1 pb per user it's more than enough!
- IDK, but, remember that it is per USER not per account. Each user is basically given 1PB of storage. 3 users gets you 3 PB of storage, if each of them use up their 900tb. They may start looking at your account if you only have 3 users and are storing 3pb of data tho lol
- Indeed, it can be a good alternative. Once the limit of 900 tb is used, what does it happen?
- The standard business plan with a 5gb single file limit. Minimum of 3 users required, but every is allocated "unlimited " space, but when you login to the mobile app, you see you max storage as a little over 900TB per user. The single file limit is easily handled with rclone chunker, it will split any file above 5gb into "chunks" and when you goto read the file, it sees it as 1 big file.
- $20? What is the package?
- I can stream a 100gb iso file via rclone mount with no problems. It does take longer to load vs DB, but for 1PB of storage for $20/mo, it's not bad for a backup of backup. When you setup an rclone mount adding --transfers=15 helps with big files. I am also using an HD Home Run device that can load read and playback full .iso images, I can load a full .iso image with menus and playback the full 100gb file fine.
Back to box.com test. Upload over command line with 28 threads very fast 60 up to 110 MB's. Download over networkstorage is very very slow. 0,5 up to 2 MB's. result to box.com = useless. Dropbox is despite the current limit, it's better for everyone. Please Dropbox, get away from the 1 TB limit per month. 😁
Sure. My Dropbox was restored to 31TB. Note that This is not an expansion of my storage, but a rectification of the reduction of my storage which Support says was caused by a bug that relates to upgrades.
- I agree, DB has much faster servers and a higher api limit. I can max out my 5gb upload speed on fiber to DB. I can only get half a gig upload ( 500mbps = 50MB/s ) on Box. However, if they drop the plan and will no longer offer as much as needed, well..
Box will have to work...for now. As far as the api goes, I went into our corporate reports, rclone has registered 500,000 api uses for 6 users. That's literally 1,000x higher then the 50,000 our account comes with. Still is a mystery on what really uses the actual API that takes away your 50,000 uses.
