No additional space on Business Advanced

[ggtello]

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 the 7 days, then again (after waiting 7 days) that there is a problem which however is not written by Nowhere.

We're really worried about that because they don't give us any timelines and the fact that the problem doesn't exist on the dropbox status page and that nobody else talks about it seems a bit suspicious.

I don't like writing these posts but we are really worried don't you think? Are any of you having similar problems? do they only have it with us?

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.

could you please explain the API limit what effect it has on daily use, because i can't understand, thanks!

[Rootax]

If 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.

At box.com, what does "upload files up to 50gb" mean? Does that mean that I can't upload a file greater than 50 gb?

[Rootax]

I think he meant upload speed is around 50Mo/sec 🙂

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.

On dropbox, we don't have this kind of limit with advanced? I've never paid attention

@Niitr0  Nop, no any API-limits, max GB pro file upload believe 150 GB.
