Technically, yes this amount of storage would be fine. However, probably due to a lot of people migrating from Google to DropBox, they have stopped giving out large increases for your quota. DB Advanved starts you off at 5TB, once you fill up you have to request more storage. Before they would give you, 50TB, or 100TB of extra space, but they are not doing this anymore. They claim their are system "issues" and will only give you 10TB every 7 days. I would not suggest joining DropBox at this time. Box business will work for you, you just have to use rclome and setup a chunker to split the big files. When you mount your chunked remote tho, all your split files show up as whole files and you can access them as if they are not split. Rclone does all this is the background automatically.

Agree, steer clear. You will not be able to complete your migration for weeks. I didn't not check the forums before committing to a year of service and had no issues until hitting 38TB. I'm also part of the entertainment industry and work for a VFX company.
