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’m not. Do you have access to this service anymore?

No one does because of a handful of abusive people who took it too far. This isnt the only case of this either. I’m arguing because I’ve lost many good services because of people that cant self regulate themselves

Why would you need to regulate the usage of an unlimited service? Aren’t you paying for the luxury of not having to regulate yourself to a fixed limit?

Why would you need to regulate anything. Why can’t I leave my shopping cart where ever I like. Why shouldn’t I leave all the trash in my seat. Why shouldn’t I throw cigarette butts out my window. There’s lots of advertised services that are limitless that doesn’t make it right to abuse it

None of the things you mentioned were a service you paid for, that’s called a false equivalency.

I would say go ahead if you were paying for a shopping cart collector, personal trash collector, and a cigarette butt collector. Why would you hire them if you did not intend to use their services?

The business made a deal, people took them up on their offer. It was a voluntary action on each side. If there was no intention or ability follow through on what they were offering, they should not have done so in the first place. Just make the cap 30tb or whatever. This eliminates the potential for abuse and does not trick consumers into thinking they will receive the service they paid for.

You’ve clearly got no critical thinking skills. Don’t be upset that people expect to be able to use a service they pay for, from a company that chose to offer that service.
