I have only 1000 MB but I'm supposed to have 1 GB on the Advanced package.

Yes, I want my 24 megabytes.

Actually, according to file storage terms, 1 GB = 1,073,741,824 bytes. He is saying that he wants that much space as he was advertised 1 GB

If you are complaining, this is a free service, if you need more space then upgrade to corprate.

You have 1 GB, if you use 1 GB, well look into upgrading to Corporate.

Actually, the problem is that I don't have 1 GB as is advertised for the free advanced plan. If everyone's account doesn't get 1 GB then maybe you should change the plan images to 1000 MB. It's not really a complaint but I'm just pointing out that either the images or account plans are inaccurate.

I assume this would also be a problem if I had a paid plan.

Technically, 1000 Megabytes is 1 Gigabyte. Its only a strange norm that its is 2^10 (1024) rather than the round 10^3 (1000). As 1024 bytes is a kibibyte. and 1024 kibibytes is 1 mebibyte and 1024 mebibytes is 1 gibibyte.

So, they were actually correct.

heres a big wikipedia article on it.

Im pretty sure 1000MB is 1024^2*1000, which is 1048576000.
