Dropbox Axes Unlimited Cloud Storage for Businesses
Dropbox Axes Unlimited Cloud Storage for Businesses
I haven’t used Dropbox in years. Honestly, I’m a little surprised that they’re still around. There are so many better alternatives.
I still have to use it as it's the only cloud service that can work as a Calibre server.
Definitely annoying as it is really behind the times with features.
Businesses love Dropbox because orgs can be set up and central management of accounts is possible.
That has been a feature in all of their competitors for 10+ years.
But over time, we found a growing number of customers were buying Advanced subscriptions not to run a business or organization, but instead for purposes like crypto and Chia mining, unrelated individuals pooling storage for personal use cases, or even instances of reselling storage.
Yea, not surprising tbh.

So you have to be a business to use their business services? I dunno hey, if I pay for a service, I don't see why me not being a business should be relevant.
No, I think they mean "friends" sharing accounts.
In the grand scheme of things, do I think this is an issue? No. But it's their service to decide what amount of sharing is appropriate. As long as there is no ceiling to the storage limit, people will abuse it. That's all I get out of this - they're tired of people abusing the generosity.
When a company says "unlimited" or "lifetime", they don't really mean it
