If you have hundreds of hours of 8k footage, no one is going to edit it off of Dropbox.
If you have the storage capacity to hold all that footage elsewhere, you also have the capability to enable uploading directly to that storage.
No one is using public cloud storage for these kinds of use cases, unless they’re extremely foolish.
That being said, offering “unlimited” and then reneging on it is also, IMHO, foolish.
