No additional space on Business Advanced
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...

It's been discussed numerous times in the datahoarder community https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/
And no, I do not use Dropbox or any cloud storage. All local. π I OWN my data.

Then why are you getting so butthurt over Dropbox then if you own all your storage and don't use the service ?
- Tomato25153 years agoExplorer | Level 4
It's not fair Dropbox was brought down for the honest paying customers by people wanting to hoard copies of movies and TV.
- DoctaK3 years agoNew member | Level 2
I'm pretty sure they can fight this battle and don't need some random crying about a few datahoarders abusing the unlimited storage system.
I hope you're sending the same to Box, Backblaze, and the other online storage solutions too.
- Tomato25153 years agoExplorer | Level 4
Yea, Dropbox will solve it by making you have to pay for more storage because these datahoarding plex pirates tried to upload petabytes of data. No business can survive with that going on. First Amazon Drive removed unlimited, then Google Workspace, now Dropbox. π
- DoctaK3 years agoNew member | Level 2
Are you sure you don't use the service?
You seem far too concerned with the future of Dropbox to just be an innocent bystander.
Getting a little too caught up in the whole Plex encrypted datahoarder conspiracy for just being a average Joe who owns their storage to make it believable.

No Dropbox usage here: https://imgur.com/a/pk4VGpe

Wait you don't even use Dropbox? lol
- Tomato25153 years agoExplorer | Level 4
I'm simply alerting Dropbox and the legit customers as to WHY unlimited is going to go away. I've from the /r/datahoarder community and put two and two together: https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/15eoyi4/dropbox_limits_as_much_space_as_you_need_to_1tb_a/
- DoctaK3 years agoNew member | Level 2
Then be on your merry way, Dropbox white knight!
But no seriously, I'm pretty sure a multimillion-dollar company doesn't need you to cry for them about these so-called Plex Pirates.
Makes you look a little silly in all seriousness and fill the Dropbox forums full of nonsense that might make sense to you, but puts legitimate users who encrypt their data because they have to at risk.
If you're that bothered about Plex users using cloud services, don't cry on Dropbox forums where people are looking for actual support.
- Tomato25153 years agoExplorer | Level 4
These "plex pirates" stopped a multi-million dollar company in it's tracks over the course of 4 months. π
- DoctaK3 years agoNew member | Level 2
Well, they didn't did they, Let's be real.
But that's beside the point, go back to your reddit page and cry there.
- Tomato25153 years agoExplorer | Level 4
Then why did they halt unlimited, hmm? The writing is on the wall. Changes are coming because of them. If a business plan doesn't work and make money, it WILL get changed. That is what is going to happen.
- DoctaK3 years agoNew member | Level 2
They never halted unlimited storage, they have put limits in place while they deal with the influx of members joining.
Nowhere does it state they are no longer actively allowing unlimited storage?
Just because they have put a limit in place of 10TB a week doesn't mean they have halted anything.
Of course, things will change, that's how businesses grow, just like Google put limits in place for unlimited storage (5 user minimum on business plans) Dropbox has now limited storage increases to 10TB per week. That doesn't mean unlimited storage from Dropbox has gone.
- cespa923 years agoHelpful | Level 6
Now they changed to 1TB every month π
- Rootax3 years agoHelpful | Level 7And Box.com is taking some of the load too.
- Tomato25153 years agoExplorer | Level 4
If Amazon and Google; two of the biggest tech companies in the US can't offer unlimited. Dropbox can't and neither can box. π Stop abusing these claims of unlimited storage. STOP UPLOADING YOUR 100TB,200TB, 1PB MOVIES AND TV FOR PLEX
Read their FUP: https://www.box.com/legal/fairusepolicy
Good luck!Box monitors two different types of bandwidth:
- Download Bandwidth for Shared Links: Files downloaded from an open access shared link (applies to the owner of the file).
- 10GB per user per month for Individual plans
- 2TB per user per month for Box Business plans
- Download/upload Ingress/Egress Bandwidth: Files uploaded and downloaded (applies to the user who uploads and/or downloads the file).
- 1TB per user per month for both Box Business and Individual plans
- Download Bandwidth for Shared Links: Files downloaded from an open access shared link (applies to the owner of the file).

Google does offer unlimited storage.
Amazon offers S3, which a lot of companies use to offer services, just like Dropbox.
So your points here aren't really valid.
Again, for being an innocent bystander, you're way too invested.
- Tomato25153 years agoExplorer | Level 4
Google does NOT offer unlimited. They removed and enforcing storage limits and you must keep buying users for more storage. Do some research first. Starting March 2023.
- Shamrock223 years agoHelpful | Level 7
Could you please stop spamming in this thread. π
- DoctaK3 years agoNew member | Level 2
Actually, they do, you must be a business user and must have a minimum of 5 users to be eligible for unlimited storage.
These so-called changes you keep going on about were not brought in this year either, they were brought in when they changed to Workspaces a couple of years ago.
Maybe you should do a little research before you come on here and spout nonsense.
- Tomato25153 years agoExplorer | Level 4
Sure as soon as you all understand unlimited is going away from ALL large cloud storage providers because of these people uploading 100TBs of movies and TV. Anyone claiming unlimited is lying.

READ: https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/13fasuz/google_workspace_unlimited_storage_its_over/
and i quote:
I have 5 active users - still limited at 25TB on a legacy business suite.
currently 100TB over 50TB (they bumped it from 25 after online chat).
- DoctaK3 years agoNew member | Level 2
All you have to do is look at the Google price page here.
Enterprise clearly states:
5 TB pooled storage per user, with ability to request more*
If you contact Google Workspaces presales team, you will be told, unlimited storage can be request for users with 5 members or more on their accounts.But of course, if its on Reddit, it must be true, right?
- Tomato25153 years agoExplorer | Level 4
It's written on Google's website, Unlimited, so it must be true. Right!?
Read the thread. You can request 5TB every 90 days and they can decline.Bye. Enjoy your limits; brought to you by the datahoarding plex selling pirates!
- DoctaK3 years agoNew member | Level 2
It isn't written on Google's website, clearly just stated that you need to speak with presales to be told this information.
But as other users have suggested. Stop spamming the forums with your nonsense.
You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.
Go be butthurt on Reddit, clearly its where you spend most of your time.
- Tomato25153 years agoExplorer | Level 4
"It isn't written on Google's website, clearly just stated that you need to speak with presales to be told this information."
You get 5TB per user with 5 = 25TB. Which you can apply for 5TB more every 90 days, which can be declined. If you bothered to read the thread I sent you, people tried.
Next time READ what I sent you.
