Will there be a 2 TB option for personal accounts?
I am running out of space with my 1TB drive. Is there an option to get 2TB? I know about Dropbox for business, with 5 Tb, but the price is just not compatible with my needs. It is too big a jump from 1Tb price to minimum of 5 users at $ 15 each.
Dropbox Professional plans will now have 2TB of storage space.

Best bet would be to ask support directly.

Me too, I would also need a 2TB option. If I could subscribe to two separate 1TB accounts to combine them, I would do it in a heartbeat, but it seems that it is not possible.

You can buy Jolicloud Pro service (5$/month)(www.jolicloud.com) and configure two or more Dropbox accounts in the same interface. Free option doesn't let configure more than one account from same service, but you could consider combine with a Google Drive 1Tb for 9,99$.
For two instances of Dropbox running in the same computer, it's possible and you can find info in google.
I hope this help you and sorry for my bad english.

Folks, I know this has probably been asked to death - but.
I need more space. 5TB is too much (and too expensive - I had it for a good 6 months).
1TB isn't enough any more. Are there any plans to come up with an "intermediate" option? Surely there must be a market for a 2TB Dropbox option?
Nowadays, with file sizes of ISO's, video files etc. getting bigger & bigger, 2TB isn't an unrealistic request, is it? - Mark10 years ago

I have no idea if I'm honest, however I know that when they launched the 1TB service there was a 2TB and 5TB option (which was based on 200gb and 500gb), however it isnt possible to buy them now.
Dropbox have always said if you want more than 1TB you need to move to business :(

Yeah... That's the problem. I'm willing to pay double for 2TB, but the price of Business is too much. Especially since I really don't need 5TB of storage...

Contacting them directly will yield better results than this forum. I've heard of people being allowed to upgrade higher than 1TB with a custom billing plan, but I'm not sure if it's allowed anymore.
Do you really need all 1TB+ of your data to be stored in Dropbox, though? Is there some old data that can be archived elsewhere?

Hi there, same problem here: I'm desperately looking for an extension of my storage to 2TB. Please implement this feature, Dropbox - otherweise you leave us no choice but to move to competitors such as Sync.com (2TB at $98)!

I totally agree. I can't see how there is such a thing as a one person 1T "PRO" and then off it goes into 5 person all you can eat business. So do I wait until I hire four more people?
