Too many users abused unlimited Dropbox plans, so they’re getting limits::Some people have taken "as much space as you need" too literally.

What is not reasonable then? Everyone would have their own ideas of what is reasonable. Why advertise anything as unlimited when it is not? Having a limit in their advert let's people know what they can use rather then being told randomly at some point that they have had too much.

Advertisements should not lie about the product. They do it to get more sales, and then complain when it gets abused. You cannot have it both ways.
