Dear Box Staff, please take this seriously and forward to the appropriate department so they can monitor and take action if needed.

If you haven't heard, Google Workspace started to enforce storage limits from individuals uploading hundreds and hundreds of terabytes (even petabytes!) of data. People have been trying to migrate to Dropbox and finally Dropbox this week decided they were uploading so much data, they had to implement limits to combat this widespread abuse.

Here is a post I made on the Dropbox forum that goes into more detail: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Storage-Space/No-additional-space-on-Business-Advanced/m-p/702781/highlight/true#M13885

Please whoever reads this, be prepared and forward to the parties that need to aware as these individuals may try to migrate to Box.com since you offer "unlimited" storage and take advantage of it.

Thank you for your time.
