No additional space on Business Advanced anymore.
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 ...
i really dont mean to side at all remotely in favor of dropbox here as i have also been affected by the storage lockdown out of the blue with zero notice or communication - but following this thread for awhile it seems that there are probably a small % of accounts that are using dropbox as a backup or mass cheap cloud storage and not using it as a platform with its many collaborative features etc. people mentioning PB of space etc - potentially seems that a few are ruining it for the many. that being said dropbox should have defined clear outlines for its "unlimited" storage and should be handling this better.
rclone integrates with many other services which are very inexpensive. azure archive tier for example
I just want to clarify here that Dropbox, by their own advertisements and statements, is a backup and storage platform. All the other features are secondary, even the collaboration is secondary. After all, what would one collaborate on if the backup and storage side of Dropbox were to go away? Let's not deviate from the fact that Dropbox's core product is indeed storage and smooth access to important files. For example, this is a snippet from their home page:
It is hard to argue that the platform is not for storage or backup when Dropbox is saying it is in the text highlighted by the red arrow on the left. Furthermore, if the complaint is some people are taking up too much space, I would direct you to read the section highlighted by a red arrow on the right where one can share files up to 2TB in size. How quickly could you fill up 1PB when you are sharing 2TB files?
As a collective group, let us stop pointing fingers at each other and trying to blame a specific user set, instead, let us redirect our attention and efforts to Dropbox who is not living up to their side of the agreement that they made with each and every paying customer. As mentioned by me previously many people and legitimate businesses are being affected by this issue, myself and those I consult with included, and we need to make sure this string of conversation does not devolve into a mass of misinformation and trolling.
