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...

DP api is unlimited but it's slow too, in a sense that, anything over 12tps will be throttled most of the time.

DP api ? Dropbox API ? Yeah the Dropbox API is slow and the Upload per file is by 12-20 MB's. Not Problem for me.
The Box API is faster, 40-50 MB's per File. Only the API limit is annoying.

Yes. For rclone's have you "chunker", that maket Files max XY GB, but you don't see that with you and you can also upload larger files.
When you Upload a File with 80 GB, makes Rclone when chunker of max 49GB create 2 Files, and in you network drive is that 1 entire file.

My Team say, that we will wait another 1-2 month. Maybe will anything changes by Dropbox and give us more than 1 TB month. Next month but we will negotiate with box.

could you please explain the API limit what effect it has on daily use, because i can't understand, thanks!
- Rootax2 years agoHelpful | Level 7If you don't dev and just using dropbox or box or... , It will impact the number of transactions you can do. Dropbox is (afaik) unlimited for total api calls, but limit around 12 calls per seconds. Box seems unlimited per seconds, but you have some limits of xx calls per months.

API is important when you with third-party tools access.
- Niitr02 years agoExperienced | Level 12At box.com, what does "upload files up to 50gb" mean? Does that mean that I can't upload a file greater than 50 gb?
- Rootax2 years agoHelpful | Level 7I think he meant upload speed is around 50Mo/sec 🙂
- Niitr02 years agoExperienced | Level 12On dropbox, we don't have this kind of limit with advanced? I've never paid attention
