You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

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...

Quoting 100% of this. I'm in the same situation as I work in production design and I handle terabytes of data every month. This is just plain bad. I'll stop using Dropbox and advise to do so to every single person and business I can.

Agree with the top 2 responses. Dropbox Wants me to go from paying $2,160 a year for 6 users to $60,000 a year. LMFAO. I don't even know the % hike that is, no do I care to do the math on that. Plain ridiculous. I can actually go back to Google Workspace @ $20/user and get 5TB pooled storage per user. When the storage gets full, Google will double the storage allocated to the pool every 90 days.
- Eldon McGuinness2 years agoCollaborator | Level 9Out of curiosity, was that the "negotiated rate" for you that Dropbox said was coming?
- cgi_ltd2 years agoCollaborator | Level 10They wanted me to sign up with 300 users to accommodate the 600TB of data I have stored already. The quote was for 300 users @ $200.00 per user, per year. Only way to get that pricing was to sign a 1 year SLA. When you break it down, it's only about $16.00 per user, but because of the storage amount, they said it was necessary to have that many users in order to accommodate the amount of storage.

Looks like Dropbox is also throttling and making it difficult for users to move files OUT of their servers, which makes all of this even more grotesque.
I advise someone at Dropbox to get their s--- together before they get their butts sued.
