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

    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 unlimited cloud drive, and likely contributed to it being shut down as a result.

        likely contributed to it being shut down as a result.

        hope they had an offline backup.
