User experience and suggestion for upgrading to an individual plan.

Dear Dropbox Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am writing to share a few suggestions that I believe could greatly enhance the user experience on your platform.

Firstly, I’ve noticed that when files are shared via a link, there is currently no search functionality available for the recipient. As Dropbox is often used to share large volumes of data and multiple files, locating a specific document without a search option can be quite time-consuming. Introducing a search feature within shared links would significantly improve usability and efficiency for end-users.

Secondly, I would like to suggest reconsidering the current storage limit for free users. Increasing the free storage from 2GB to at least 50GB—or ideally 100GB—could set Dropbox apart from its competitors. Such an offering would encourage users to build a habit of storing their data exclusively on Dropbox. Once they reach the 100GB threshold, many would likely opt for a paid plan to retain access and continue using the service. To mitigate account duplication, measures could be implemented to restrict users from creating multiple free accounts.

If you’re open to further user-based insights, I would be happy to share additional suggestions or assist you in any professional capacity.

Thank you for considering my feedback. I look forward to seeing how Dropbox continues to evolve.

Warm regards,
Noman

    Hey 3043615, thanks for posting here today! 

    Your feedback regarding this has been very valuable and I will endeavor to make sure your voice is heard. We listen to your needs because it allows us to fully appreciate how Dropbox fits into and influences your daily routine.

    Here are some things to keep in mind when submitting your ideas. I'm suggesting that, since you posted about 2 different topics (shared links, and quota) under the same thread, which might be harder to attract people's attention.
