Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Coje_He, soft media users 1520111, OC_Formula, Alejandro86 for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com August 28 news, cloud storage service provider Dropbox recently announced that due to a large number of customers subscribing to the Advanced solution on the platform, making use of the "unlimited space" policy provided by the solution to dig for virtual digital currency, Dropbox decided to change its subscription policy, and the Advanced subscription scheme will be lowered from "unlimited space" to "only 15TB storage space" from now on.

▲ source Dropbox official website CTOnews.com learned that in the past, Dropbox offered a total of five paid subscription options, from personal version (Plus), professional version (Professional), small team version (Standard), advanced team version (Advanced), and Enterprise for large enterprises. The monthly subscription fees for the first three items range from $11.99 (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 87 yuan) to $18 (currently about 131 yuan). Storage space is limited. The monthly price of 2TB, 3TB and 5TB Magi Advanced is $30 (currently about 219 yuan), providing unlimited storage space.

Dropbox said that the Advanced scheme is designed for commercial needs, so that people in the relevant industry "do not have to worry about the use of storage space." however, more and more customers who buy the scheme are not for related purposes, but for mining such customers often use thousands of times more space than other normal commercial customers. Although Dropbox has set various rules prohibiting abuse, these rules are often broken by users. So that Dropbox finally decided to cancel the unlimited space policy of Advanced scheme.

From now on, Advanced solution customers with three user authorizations will only be able to use 15TB storage space, and each additional user will have access to 5TB storage space.

In order not to have too much impact on existing customers, Advanced customers with insufficient storage space for 35TB will be able to retain all the storage space currently used. Dropbox will also provide these users with more storage space than 5TB, and there will be no additional charge for this in the next five years.

As for Advanced customers who use more than 35TB, they can continue to use the relevant solutions in the short term and will have additional 5TB storage space valid for a year, but the Dropbox team will contact these customers in the coming weeks to discuss other storage options.

Dropbox expects to gradually migrate Advanced customers to the new subscription program on November 1 this year, when it will also provide new additional storage space purchase services. 1TB's monthly subscription fee is $10 (currently about 73 yuan).
