The words “unlimited”, “as much as you want”, etc have lost all of their meanings lol
- Do these sound like the actions of a man who's had ALL he could eat?
- Well you can upload as much qs you want, if you don't want to upload more than 8 tb a week
So they WANT you to move to your own nextcloud space.
Apart from the initial upliad - is it actually an issue?
- It would not be for me, but they just sent me this chat message which is concerning:
  We are currently seeing unexpected growth across Dropbox Advanced, and as a result are currently only able to grant 1 TB per month per team. We understand this may be frustrating and are working to resolve this for our customers.
  
  Ah, the good old moving target.
I have the advanced plan as well, and I was recently doing my migration from gdrive; I definitely uploaded over 10 TB a day without any issue.
But seconding what others have said: is that really even an issue? Gdrive only ever allowed 750 GB a day for upload, if you remember.
Interesting. I wasn’t aware of that. It won’t impact me personally however I think I may be switching to OneDrive in the future. I get it free through work and am paying $180 a year or so for Dropbox. They’re so close in functionality now that it doesn’t seem worth paying for DB anymore.
