unrelated individuals pooling storage for personal use cases

So you have to be a business to use their business services? I dunno hey, if I pay for a service, I don't see why me not being a business should be relevant.

No, I think they mean "friends" sharing accounts.

In the grand scheme of things, do I think this is an issue? No. But it's their service to decide what amount of sharing is appropriate. As long as there is no ceiling to the storage limit, people will abuse it. That's all I get out of this - they're tired of people abusing the generosity.
