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.

I've tried OneDrive and found it a waste of my time. Virtually no support for MacOS users. I'm not a fan of Google services, so I've never tried them. If forced, I would simply move my business to AWS. More expensive, but awesome support and services.
