Dropbox Ends Unlimited Storage Due to Crypto Mining
The company announced in a blog post that its unlimited Advanced plan will now be replaced with a metered storage plan, offering new users 15 terabytes of storage.
Although Dropbox was anticipated that its “all the space you need” plan might lead to varying levels of usage, the company noted a recent surge in certain users consuming “thousands of times more storage than our legitimate business customers.”
“A growing number of customers were buying Advanced subscriptions not to run a business or organization, but instead for purposes like crypto and Chia mining.
”P.S. Chia is a cryptocurrency that utilizes storage space for mining, as opposed to traditional processing power.
