Info for anyone switching from gdrive to dropbox like me, know that there may be a weekly upload limit of 8TB.
The words “unlimited”, “as much as you want”, etc have lost all of their meanings lol

Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Do these sound like the actions of a man who's had ALL he could eat?
Well you can upload as much qs you want, if you don't want to upload more than 8 tb a week
"You can sleep all you want, but no more than 24 hours a day." "But you said all I want!"
So they WANT you to move to your own nextcloud space.
I have the advanced plan as well, and I was recently doing my migration from gdrive; I definitely uploaded over 10 TB a day without any issue.
But seconding what others have said: is that really even an issue? Gdrive only ever allowed 750 GB a day for upload, if you remember.
