Sorry, it wasn't clear to me from this link that it was moving out of beta to open.

And the pricing now seems generous (1 TB to start). I wonder how long they can sustain that price. I'm worried that they might be biting off more they can chew with the unlimited offer. In beta, wasn't it 350 GB?

200 GB per new user, at $125/year per user, works out to $0.052/GB/month. Amazon S3, which Dropbox uses, charges $0.037/GB/month at scale. And that assumes that people use 100% of the storage they pay for, while most people don't actually run anywhere near capacity all the time. That also ignores compression and de-duplication.
