Enable EU Data Residency for smaller Dropbox teams under 10 licenses.
As a Dropbox Business user, I believe it's essential to have the option to store our data within the European Union, even for teams with fewer than 10 licenses.
Due to compliance obligations (e.g., GDPR and internal data protection policies), many companies require data residency within the EU, especially in regulated industries or working with European clients. The current limitation that only teams with 10+ licenses can request EU data storage is restrictive and excludes smaller teams or startups that still have strict compliance needs.
I strongly suggest that Dropbox consider enabling EU data residency for smaller teams, starting from 3 users, or at the very least, for any team using business-level licenses. This would significantly increase the product’s appeal for professional users with legal or contractual data localization requirements.
We appreciate Dropbox’s commitment to privacy and flexibility, and we hope this improvement can be considered in future updates.

Fully agree — smaller teams often face the same compliance requirements as larger ones, especially under GDPR. Enabling EU data residency for teams with fewer than 10 users would make Dropbox far more viable for startups and regulated industries.

Welcome to our forum, mg-blacksheep, and thanks for your suggestion.
This is something I’ve passed on to our team as feedback, since I understand how it could help smaller Dropbox teams. They’ll be able to check your comments this way, and take this into account.
If you need something else though, feel free to give me a nudge.
