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...
That is a huge markup!
If you're an administrator and you were to price out drives, you're looking at ~5-6kUSD for that much storage. And then maybe another 400USD/year for electricity to power the drives. Then throw in maybe another 2400USD/year for a fast internet connection. You're looking at an initial investment of ~8kUSD and an ongoing expense of 2800USD/year; a far cry from Dropbox's price point.
The idea that Dropbox's "tools" are worth 50-60kUSD/year is just insane.
I imagine there is going to be a run on hdds/hbas/etc as people/companies migrate to local storage. Get ready for it everyone!

I already ordered a 36 Bay Supermicro box off ebay. SAS 6gps rails, with motherboard, cpu's and ram. Ready to go for a Truenas System. Got it for $515.00. Has 8 pcie 3.0 x8 slots. Plenty for a dual 10gb sfp+ and 10gb rj45 card and can use the rest of the slots for HBA's ( If needed )
