You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

No additional space on Business Advanced
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...
@Dominus
Then you are caught in the cross-fire and should never believe the word "unlimited storage". Google Workspace is now enforcing limits and Dropbox will too. The only re-course is to migrate to locally storing and use Blackbaze as a backup.
Also, why are you storing security footage online? It's best kept OFFLINE is it not? You are violating AUP too as you are backing up too.
The "cloud" is someone else's computer..
I should be more clear, these accounts are storing 50,100,200,300+ terabytes of data. Most users will not be storing this insane amount of data. If you only check accounts doing this on or after March 2023; you can get almost all the big offenders.
NOt alowed backups on Dropbox ??

Please explain, also doesnt matter why someone is backing up secruity footage or in our case video editing we have done for clients under strick NDA's.
Also I am glad you speak for all companys and know what all companys are using for backup services, Guess Dropbox has a buisness section for no reason with no clients by your theory.
As for cross fire, why should legit companys pay the price for those breaking the law? Pretty sure thats not how it should work.
Anyways like I said, your "easy fix" doesnt actually fix anything but put Dropbox into a situation where companys will sue them.
Also I have heard poeple are selling slots for Dropbox, meaning they will have more than 3, so the ones thats will/are using loads of storage on more than 3? Whats you "easy fix" going to do about those?
The picture is alot bigger than you or I, or I am sure Dropbox would have shut down alot of accounts.
Also you claim I am breaking their AUP, They know I am backing up client data, had many live chats with defferent staff members, so you can keep throwing their AUP at me, Dropbox are aware and they are fine with it.
Next?
No one is going to get sued as Dropbox is covered in their AUP, Terms of Service, etc. and has lawyers. 🙂
Let this be a lesson learned; unlimited is NOT unlimited. When people abuse it, it is tested and the real truth is found out.
