Too many users abused unlimited Dropbox plans, so they’re getting limits::Some people have taken “as much space as you need” too literally.
Unlimited doesn’t mean “upload what you want to a certain limit”, it means “upload what you want, as much as you want”.
You’re misunderstanding the word unlimited, as countless others before me have already pointed out to you
No I’m understanding that unlimited doesn’t mean I shouldn’t consider if uploading 30 TB of data would cause problems just like I don’t assume free condiment’s means I can take every condiment in the restaurant
2 things wrong with that analogy:
-
Restaurants don’t advertise “unlimited condiments”.
-
Condiments aren’t the main business of a restaurant.
But if a restaurant offers an all-you-can-eat buffet, there will be people stuffing themselves silly, because that’s what they advertised.
Its not a bad analogy because both are services provided by a company. Both are up to the user to determine their usage. Both are services that over consuming of the service makes everyone lose the service. Free condiment’s and unlimited data are both do not impose restrictions on customers. But customers should self regulate in both instances. At some point when you’re uploading 20 TB you have to stop and wonder when the ride ends just like a normal person would when you’re stuffing your purse full of ketchup packets
