If Dropbox would upgrade their free storage like apple ( 50gbs ) then maybe it will be used because people doesnât have the money to buy or give away for storage this is why I donât use Dropbox anymore if you would up the storage space that will help a lot of people that canât afford to buy storage space
Companies like Apple and Google that offer more free space have other parts of their business that offset those costs. Apple has their hardware revenue, Google has their ad revenue. The profits they earn from those other sources of revenue allow them to offer more storage for free, as an incentive to spend money on their other services. Dropbox only has their storage revenue.
You can earn more free space through referrals and other bonus programs.

If what you say may be true, it absolutely doesn't change the fact that Dropbox should offer Pro users to get as many extra TB they wish for an extra cost proportional to that additional storage.
Implementing this just takes a line of code, and would generate an extra line of revenue to Dropbox. So it just doesn't make any sense, especially as everyone's hard drive is nearing full capacity.
