You're probably backwards there.

I suspect multiple exabytes is a low ball.

Plus, that 400PB Dropbox was storing in 2016 was - until around that same time, when they built their Magic Pocket system - itself stored on S3.

Probably -- came back to my comment 24 hours later and realized I mixed up DB and S3 in the sentence.

I'm not as sure about that, given the extent of the chaos that ensues every time S3 goes down for half a day.

People don't put big data warehouses on Dropbox, they do in S3.
