According to Cointelegraph: Dropbox has discontinued its unlimited storage plan after discovering that some users were utilizing the service for resource-intensive activities such as cryptocurrency mining. On August 24, the company announced in a blog post that its unlimited Advanced plan has been replaced with a metered storage plan, offering new users 15 terabytes of storage, which is reportedly enough to store 100 million documents. Dropbox acknowledged that its "all the space you need" plan would result in uneven usage levels, but it has recently experienced a surge in some users consuming "thousands of times more storage than our genuine business customers." The company stated that a growing number of customers were purchasing Advanced subscriptions not for business or organizational purposes, but for activities like crypto and Chia mining. Other high-resource uses included some users reselling Dropbox storage or multiple individuals pooling storage for personal use. Dropbox's decision comes after similar policy changes by Microsoft and Google, who have also discontinued their unlimited storage plans in recent months. The company understands that the move may be disappointing for some users, but maintaining an unlimited plan and enforcing a list of unacceptable use cases would be unsustainable and challenging.
