Hello,
I'm a graphic designer with over 15 years of workload. This obviously equates to extreme files sizes. I was disappointed to learn Dropbox don't offer a package for single users over 3TB....
shinbeth Thanks for the article post. I can't help but wonder if they have lost their key engineers. Having run many engineering teams in the past, this is an engineering problem, not a marketing problem. If people are abusing the storage, they should be booted. You do not penalize all your other users because some misbehave. But this would require some work to accomplish.
But today, with new AI technologies, usage data could be put into a Machine Learning model and used to identify abusers. It should be fairly easy to identify. To resell or share your data, wouldn't the new users need to log into the account to use it? Or share a box with other users? An account with too many shared folders that are all always busy would be easy to detect.
And pricing might be a solution as well. A lower price might undercut resellers. Or maybe a higher price would be resold data would not be a bargain again.
There are so many ways to try and cut off abusers. But killing a service for everyone is a stupid solution.
But at least now we know why they do not offer unlimited to personal accounts. The fear that more people would abuse it.
SIGH!
