1 TB is more than enough for most people. I am wondering how they will stay in business. Who would pay for that second Terabyte?

Edit: they recently changed their free tier to 30 GB. That is still pretty generous. I knew they wouldn’t last giving away a free TB for everyone.

    They can also deduplicate files, so one file which is shared by multiple people (or even multiple people uploading the same file independently) only needs storing once.

      Combine that with deduplicating file systems that will break fuels into chunks and if some of those are the same as another file, it will only get referenced, not stored twice. This then even works if two users upload the same file without sharing it. (Assuming files aren’t encrypted by the user)
