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...
Not exactly an “idea”, but I needed somewhere to express this and support suggested this.
Dropbox recently announced a new policy by which they’re completely changing existing agreements that are already paid for and nuking their storage space.
My company, in particular, is now going to have to completely restructure how we handle client deliverables because - SHOCKER - not every company in the world only relies on tiny word documents to maintain business.
This move is going to cost me thousands of dollars, and will probably result in my having to MASSIVELY cut back on how much clientele I can take on for awhile while I work on moving over 100TB of data into *something else*
The fact they can even legally do this is astounding. I know it’s my own fault for putting too many eggs in one basket, but I didn’t imagine that something like 5+ years into a paid agreement that Dropbox could/would just **bleep** me in the way they have here.
Completely disgusting. Can’t believe I’ve been recommending this platform for as long as I have. I’m sure they’ve done the math and they don’t care about my business, but I’m sure I can’t be alone in feeling so unethically screwed by an organization that’s allowed me to exist and move in ways that most can’t.
So upsetting. Sorry for ranting.

Quoting 100% of this. I'm in the same situation as I work in production design and I handle terabytes of data every month. This is just plain bad. I'll stop using Dropbox and advise to do so to every single person and business I can.
Agree with the top 2 responses. Dropbox Wants me to go from paying $2,160 a year for 6 users to $60,000 a year. LMFAO. I don't even know the % hike that is, no do I care to do the math on that. Plain ridiculous. I can actually go back to Google Workspace @ $20/user and get 5TB pooled storage per user. When the storage gets full, Google will double the storage allocated to the pool every 90 days.
- Out of curiosity, was that the "negotiated rate" for you that Dropbox said was coming?
- They wanted me to sign up with 300 users to accommodate the 600TB of data I have stored already. The quote was for 300 users @ $200.00 per user, per year. Only way to get that pricing was to sign a 1 year SLA. When you break it down, it's only about $16.00 per user, but because of the storage amount, they said it was necessary to have that many users in order to accommodate the amount of storage.
