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.
Allow a personal account to have more than 3 TB
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. I work solely and require more cloud space and don't want to have to upgrade to a 'per user' plan as this isn't cost effective. This option has to become available soon.
Offer a 'Cold Storage' option at a lower rate with restricted access to match
Cold Storage - I would love to see an add on to the pro accounts to allow us to move active footage off the active content and into cold storage billed as a lower rate and accessed accordingly - if this could be connected with our current drop box account it means simple move or even simply selecting a button to turn a file cold while leaving it in the same files structure - not unlike what you have going on the desktop application with cloud, tentatively online and permanently online - you could also have a frozen state - maybe it takes several days to access the footage once frozen but it would use space in my current service at a lower level. OR connect with a 3rd party program to offer this - from google searches it looks like you were offering this but now are not..
Command line code to switch between "Allow offline access" and "Online only" instead of mouse clicks
It would be nice to be able to switch between "allow offline access" and "online only" on the command line instead of using the mouse. For example, "% dropbox -offline_accsess true file1,file2,file3...", "% dropbox -offline_accsess false file1,file2,file3..." Once this is done, it is possible to treat files from the application in much the same way as if they were stored locally, while saving disk space by making them "online only".
