    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm considering Dropbox Business with the Advanced Plan for my online data analysis startup. The idea is to use dropbox storage &amp;amp; download as a backend to my online service, not exposing the dropbox UI / apps to my customers.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The recent policy change (23/8) limits the advanced plan to 5TB/"user". My business needs N customers mapped to M dropbox-advanced-plan-user(s) (where M &amp;lt; N) who upload data with file requests which my backend creates programatically (so that a customer does not have access to my dropbox, but is able to upload data there).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;For this to work and scale, I need to be able to programatically create users as more customers come in (more data) or delete users when they leave.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The business API has this method:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2/team/members/add_v2&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;Unfortunately it is not clear to me if this "member" is the same as a "user" as mentioned on the dropbox plan comparison page.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Can someone explain if I can grow the advanced plan dynamically (getting billed for it, of course) or if these are manual admin actions by clicking through the dropbox console manually?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/teams#team-members-add" target="_blank"&gt;The /2/team/members/add_v2 endpoint&lt;/A&gt; allows you to add a member to your team (creating a new account for them as needed), but only as long as you have a license available on your team. If you have no more licenses available on your team, the call would fail with a 'team_license_limit' error. The Dropbox API does not offer a way to programmatically buy more licenses for your team (that would need to be done manually), but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Okay, clear, thank you. Marking as resolved.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
