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...

I would highly encourage users to NOT look at Dropbox as an Enterprise service. Nor Google Drive, nor Box.com, nor any of the other ones like that. Frame.IO is launching a service soon that allows users to connect S3 storage. IBM, Azure, Google Cloud are all better fits for storage.

Don't bother, just host your own service and make your own s3 storage on it.
If you want some info on this let me know.

Yeah, lot of companies going back to on-prem. 45Drives has their Storinator as an option for people https://www.45drives.com/products/storinator-xl60-configurations.php
- Eldon McGuinness2 years agoCollaborator | Level 9Does that include drives? Didn't seem to note that it did. Though, maybe I can't see it on the mobile view. Looks like they need a web developer...

Eldon McGuinness Doesn't include drives, but purpose built and solid customer service.
- Eldon McGuinness2 years agoCollaborator | Level 913k and no drives?! That is crazy. Maybe Dropbox is doing business with these guys, would explain the plan price change LOL.

eBay has TONS of used enterprise storage devices. Plenty that won't break the bank and and can be configured how you want it. Install whatever OS you want in it and throw a 10gb SFP card in it, for example;

Indeed, I recommend people to take a look there, if they're ok with the associated risks, first.
