If you're using the Business Standard or Advanced plan and you need to go back 121 days, you better have a DeLorean. I reached out to a Dropbox rep through chat and asked if it would be possible to upgrade the business account to what's called the "Extended Version History" option in the individual Plus plan. The 2017 Dropbox for Business Standard plan, and the new Advanced plan, both only provide 120 days of file recovery.
Last year's Business Plan listed versioning as "unlimited file recovery." That meant you could go back for as long as the account had existed, and recover versions. This is in marked contrast to both the 2017 Business Standard and Advanced plans. But, if you want a year worth of versioning, you can add it for $39. So finally introduce other plans than 2TB and 3TB for individuals Dropbox please, my 8TB Macbook drive (and 16TB soon introduced by Apple) need way more space than your current limitations.For the individual Plus plan, Dropbox offers 30 days of versioning. I don't need extra users since I work alone and I don't use external hard drives either. I only use my files based on my Macbook local SSD. Also the fact that this mandatory 3-user system changes the path of my files, and I don't want it. Really rubbish Dropbox that's the one reason not making me want spend more money with you. No files would need to be moved and Dropbox would just extend its size. Life would be so much easier if they provided a simple extension like Google Drive is doing, from 3TB (Pro +1TB extra = 4TB) to like 10TB, 20TB, 30TB (same as Google Drive). if you can finish it all because you should also consider the cache that means almost impossible to do if don't have a super large local SSD disk and super fast 10GB/sec internet fiber connection at disposal (which I didn't have for a while as I was traveling).
I personally hated it since like you have to transfer your entire data from the former Dropbox folder to the newer one. You'll get "as much space" with the Advanced Plan, but what they didn't tell you, it will create a mandatory 3-user folder system on your local drive that is not the same as the usual Dropbox folder found in Personal and Pro plans.
