What is the storage or quota limit under new Terms of Service?

Question

I saw Dropbox's new terms of service, specifically "You may also choose to join or access multiple Dropbox Teams and/or non-Dropbox Team plans, which we may refer to as workspaces, using the same email address."

I am on the basic/free plan. Would this mean that I am able make multiple workspaces using the same email? Would this also give me 2 GB storage in each workspace, or would it be 2 GB across all workspaces?

I am also confused on what exactly "non-Dropbox Team plans" are. Is that just an individual account?

Hi @Ministar25, thanks for contacting us!

The new Terms of Service would be referring to future changes that are being made to the Dropbox platform and features.

You can read up more about the changes to the Terms of Services, along with the mention of multiple workspaces in this article.

If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

They've not announced it yet; however, I am almost certain that it will be paid accounts only, as there is, at the moment, a requirement that each account needs a different email.

You can currently already link 2 accounts together (1 Business and 1 personal). I suspect this will increase, but as they talk about Teams, I imagine there will be a business clause within it, and 'Plans' means paid.

There is no way, at all, they are going to allow the abuse of stacking lots of free accounts together.
