    Go to your Plan page and look for a section titled Available add-ons. Do you see something that looks like this?

     

     

    It may not be available to all accounts yet, as Dropbox tends to roll these things out gradually over time.

Like you perfectly described the pricing doesn't make sense at all either.

You're getting much more with a Business license over a personal account. Extra space and other features aside, you also get access to additional support resources, including phone support. You're not just paying for more space.

"You're getting much more with a Business license over a personal account. Extra space and other features aside, you also get access to additional support resources, including phone support. You're not just paying for more space."

 

As I said, I'm not interested in those extra features. Also, it creates a 3-user folder system that messed up my regular Pro folder structure, so I stopped the Business trial and am not interested in the Business offer.

 

I solely want to keep my Pro 3TB + 1TB extra account. But I need 10TB so please allow for more storage (Google Drive offers up to 30TB on individual storage for the same price as Dropbox ++)
