With a 300k File Limit - Does Dropbox Really Provide Business Solutions?
For many many years, I've been a Dropbox Pro member. During this time, they decided at some point, that 300,000 files is the maximum they will support. Now, I know what you are thinking. The ar...
I did not accept this as a solution (now fixed). It doesn't solve anything and is factually incorrect. At the time of your reply and this post, there is a baked in hard-limit in Dropbox that makes it unusable - and your support team refused to provide support to anyone with over 300K files. Nothing in your response you marked as the "answer" addresses this in any way shape or form. Wishing you had the answer isn't the same as providing one.
The right answer was moving to Google Drive and getting an actual business grade cloud based file sync solution in place.
I'm in a jam because I have "too many files", so the commands within the Finder on my mac are very often super sluggish to appear.
Since I pay for this service to be able to not think about my data hoarding (😅) it'd be cool if you made dropbox so powerful that this would stop happening, but in the interim it would be nice if the system would catch this and help one deal with it. Because these are my files, and by myself I'm not completely sure how I'd do "less files" without defeating the purpose of having Dropbox.
Not only will they not support you, they will refuse to refund you. I am less than 2 months into a year prepay and they won't refund the prorated 10 months I won't be using despite repeated requests, with their cited reason as "we have a strict policy against refunds". They must really be struggling financially if they need my $200 more than I do.
I've moved over to Mega and the experience has been great so far.
Those of you who've migrated services, can you comment on macOS integration and Android apps if possible? Which services have integrated smoothest? I'm approaching 300k files on my account with only 60% of my allotted data consumed. I'd like to figure out my next move before it becomes a problem.
Thanks.
