The thing is, I wouldn't expect it to apply to all my team members' quotas since none of them can access the data.   It's already funny how DropBox charges storage space multiplied by team members.  Yes, it takes storage space but not storage space * team members.

Anyway, what's the point of archiving if not to 'clear up' space in any way?   Just to make it harder to retrieve?
