    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    This was intended to free business users from needing to worry about quotas.

    Dropbox says that these users were using “thousands of times more storage than [their] genuine business customers.”

    Dropbox also says that this behavior has been getting worse recently because other services have also been placing caps on their storage plans—at some point within the last year, Google also removed similar “as much as you need” language from its Google Workspace plans.

    Rather than attempting to police behavior or play whack-a-mole with the people abusing the service, Dropbox has imposed a 15TB cap on organizations with three or fewer users.

    An additional 5TB per user can be added on top of that, with a maximum cap of 1,000TB per organization.

    New customers will be affected by this policy change immediately, as you’ll see if you check the current pricing for Dropbox Advanced plans.
