Some people have taken "as much space as you need" too literally.

Too many users abused unlimited Dropbox plans, so they’re getting limits::Some people have taken “as much space as you need” too literally.

    Roughly

    “what do you mean?”

    “You cannot offer something that doesn’t exist. If Amazon decided to become a client, we’d be in a world of hurt.”

    “It’s fine none of our clients use more than a few hundred gigs”

    This was in 2018. They still offer unlimited storage. So I guess, what do I know?

        A little over $150/mo

        Their service isn’t storage, has nothing to do with it. But at a certain level of storage, it’s… A steal.

      May I ask what the company is? You don’t have to disclose it publicly if you don’t want, I have matrix setup on my profile here.

      what would they do if some user just decides to use more than their “limit”? like hundreds of TB?

        Boot them, most likely. Or eat the cost, and look to shutter the free space/apply limits ASAP.

        Not unlike Amazon Cloud, Google Drive, and Dropbox here. There was someone on the datahoarders Reddit who famously shoved a Petabyte of Data into their Cloud Drive offering, and likely contributed to it being shut down as a result.
