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.

Hi all
Thanks for your feedback here. Peter has hit the nail - we currently do not offer something between 'individual Pro' and Business 'starting point' (which is a min. of 5 seats).
I'm passing this on internally to the team. In the meanwhile an alternative would be to use 2 Pro accounts (not ideal, I know).

Ed, if I could set up 2 Dropboxes linked - I would. But I can only sync one at a time?
The way I use my Dropbox is as a redirect for my Windows user profile folders; so my My Documents, My Pictures etc. all point to the same folders in Dropbox, so that across my Windows devices, I have a 100% synced set of data - that wouldn't work with 2 Dropboxes!
As we have all said, we'd pay double the price for double the storage - if it was a single Dropbox Pro! :-)

If necessary I would even be willing to pay TRIPLE for double the storage, but not septuple for Dropbox for Business!

Exactly the same issue here. I would happily pay for each Tb but have no need for business package. This is a crazy business decision for them. Trouble is I need it now, so the alternative is to move away, which I don't want to do.
Come on Dropbox, listen to your users!

Hi Mark, I had the same issue and moved to Sync.com a week ago - and so far, I couldn't be happier! 2TB of storage, end-to-end-encryption, a Dropbox-like "feel" and all that at just $98!

I have sang Dropbox praises for years - told and sold so many people on it. Dropbox is the defacto standard for cloud storage! No system I've tried works better. (I even continue to pay Dropbox for 1Tb storage when I have 1Tb FREE with Microsoft OneDrive - because MS just couldn't work with all my data, syncs were a mess, conflicts everywhere, extra layers of "uploader services," etc.) WHY does a single power user with years (every year we make more data) of home, work & academic data somehow have to buy a "business" plan with multiple seats? You have customers willing to send you more money for more space - without the bells and whistles of the business plan. I'm sorry, but you are forcing me to look for another solution. This is just bad business, and sad for a loyal customer, Dropbox.

Considering that physical storage media seems to double itself each year, I really don't understand why Dropbox doesn't evolve the same way. 1TB hard drives are becoming cheaper and cheaper as every year goes by.
As 4K/8K media rolls its way onto the internet, there will be an inherent need for additional storage, that's just all there is to it. It's really not a question of IF it will happen, but when.
As a Pro user, I would love nothing more than to wake up and find an extra TB tacked onto my account at no extra cost. For as much as the Pro user pays, and the fact that their competitors are offering more space for the same price, this kind of treatment is way overdue.
They may have changed their pricing since, but IDrive has offered 2TB for less than 5$/month. At that rate we're paying double for half as much, just because Dropbox is brand name.

Ditto! I would cancel my 1TB Google Drive subscription if I could have just 1 more terabyte with dropbox!

I cant reach a live person no matter how hard I try....So can I get an official dropbox support agent to please answer my question? here it is -
Is there ANY plans in the future to add a 2TB option? If so, when?
I need more space asap. 1TB is all filled up. Im not a business and therefore dont need a business account at 75 dollars per month....Thats a waste of money for me. I dont have moneey to waste. As a regular everyday guy, I just need a 2tb upgrade option. Is this so hard to implement? Please advise.
