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

I worked for a company that was offering unlimited storage to its too tier customers.

I brought it up in a meeting when we first started talking about it.

"Okay but you don't mean unlimited. That's bad PR waiting to happen."

What did they say to your remark?

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 41 points 1 year ago (8 children)

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?

What's the company? I need to migrate away from Dropbox.
