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?

- S3 storage tends to be on the expensive side, when you consider the amount it costs just for the storage, not to mention any ingress or egress fees to pull/push data to them.
That's true it does, but situations like this are less likely to arise. Always the trade off: speed or cost or quality.
Don't bother, just host your own service and make your own s3 storage on it.
If you want some info on this let me know.
Yeah, lot of companies going back to on-prem. 45Drives has their Storinator as an option for people https://www.45drives.com/products/storinator-xl60-configurations.php
- Does that include drives? Didn't seem to note that it did. Though, maybe I can't see it on the mobile view. Looks like they need a web developer...
Eldon McGuinness Doesn't include drives, but purpose built and solid customer service.
- 13k and no drives?! That is crazy. Maybe Dropbox is doing business with these guys, would explain the plan price change LOL.
eBay has TONS of used enterprise storage devices. Plenty that won't break the bank and and can be configured how you want it. Install whatever OS you want in it and throw a 10gb SFP card in it, for example;

Dear Dropbox Team,
I would like to express my deep disappointment with the new policy that limits my storage space on Dropbox. As a photographer, I have been a devoted user of your service specifically because of the unlimited storage space it offered. This feature allowed me to securely archive all of my job records while ensuring easy accessibility at any given time.
Furthermore, I rely on this ample storage capacity to efficiently collaborate with my team by sharing large image files, facilitating our dynamic workflow. Over the years, we have accumulated a substantial number of files on Dropbox, making it impractical to migrate everything elsewhere at this juncture.
In addition to being loyal Dropbox users, we recently upgraded to a Dropbox Business account, primarily due to the appeal of the unlimited storage plan. It's worth noting that the monthly cost of this subscription is already quite expensive for our team.
The recent adjustment in the storage limit while maintaining the same pricing structure has raised concerns. It appears to penalize dedicated users like us, who have not engaged in any unfair or inappropriate use of your system, as you have mentioned as the main reason for this policy change.
I urge you to consider a more equitable approach, where restrictions are applied selectively to those who misuse the service, rather than affecting the entire user base. This would be a fairer and more respectful way to address any issues while honoring the loyalty and trust of genuine, long-standing clients like myself.
I look forward to hearing your response and hope that we can find a solution that better aligns with the needs and expectations of your dedicated users.
Sincerely,
Alexandre
