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...

This is terrible, and all I can do is pray that I can make full use of the six-month buffer period and have enough time to migrate to a local storage cluster. Never have I felt so utterly worthless, tired of constantly moving from one cloud storage provider to another.

Hi, Niitr0
My proposal is a minio cluster, located in the western region of the United States. I have discussed prices with a vendor, and I believe that we can store a sufficient amount of data at a reasonable cost. However, the issue is that not every user is capable of maintaining a multi-node cluster and resolving machine failures or disk replacement like I can.
One of the major reasons for choosing a cloud storage provider is the ease of use. You don't have to worry about hardware issues beneath the software layer. Now, I am forced to take a more complicated route. Another potential solution is iDrive e2, paired with a compatible cloud storage service like nextcloud, which supports S3 storage and can provide a decent experience.
Although these options cannot compare to the excellent experience I had with Dropbox, I don't have a better alternative. I have a lot of data, and it has been a frustrating migration process to move them all to Dropbox over time.
