The new prices and limitations are now in effect. Anybody who’s already signed up on an unlimited package, though, will keep it until it’s up for renewal. If auto-renewal is turned on, it will be automatically switched over to the $60/year plan. So, if you’re currently using more than 1TB of space, you’ll want to get that worked out as soon as possible so that you don’t end up with a large unexpected bill.
It’s not that much of a surprise that the Unlimited packages have ended. It’s just not a sustainable business model. It was essentially a short term stunt to try to squash the competition. They knew there wasn’t really a way for Dropbox and others to compete. Microsoft did the same thing in 2015 backing out of their “unlimited” storage for Office 365 subscribers. All these cloud sotrage companies trying to compete with each other to beat each other out. The only ones they’re screwing over are the customers. I think I’ll just stick to Resilio. [via The Verge]
