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 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?

These "plex pirates" stopped a multi-million dollar company in it's tracks over the course of 4 months. 🙄

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.

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.

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.

If Amazon and Google; two of the biggest tech companies in the US can't offer unlimited. Dropbox can't and neither can box. 🙄 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.

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.
