Personal plans with more storage

[martijntulp]

Hi! I used to have a paid personal Dropbox account, until I outgrew the 3TB of storage space. I downgraded to a free Dropbox account and started storing my files with a different provider. As a renewal of my subscription with this other provider is coming up mid-June, I was wondering if you are planning on implementing larger personal plans in the future? Ideally I'd love a package that has somewhere between 6 to 8TB.

Switching to a professional account is not an option, because:

- I already use a professional account from the company I work for, you can only use 1 personal and 1 professional account in the Dropbox software at the same time, and I don't want to upload my personal files to my company's account

- a professional account requires several licenses (3, I believe), while I only need 1

Therefore, I would like to suggest to implement the option to purchase a larger personal plan with more storage space than the current 3TB (of course the plan with 3TB should still exist for users who don't need more than 3TB).

DropBox is really in danger of leaving itself behind by continuing to ignore basic requests from customers for more competitve pricing.  I have a 2TB plan.  If I increase it to 3TB (the only option) cost per TB is more than doubled!  Conclusion?  DropBox doesnt want to keep customers by giving them better plans for more data; infact the more you use, the more propoprionally you are charged.  I've been pleading with DropBox for bigger and more competitive plans - all requests met with the usual marketing BS telling me what a great service DropBox offer.  Well Dropbox, its the customers that decide whether the service is great and it isnt! I've just signed up with an alternative coistoing $65 for 5TB.  Shame on you DropBox for being so deaf to your customers!

Hey,

I've come to a problem - I've run out of space and I already use a Professional plan (3TB of space). My next step would be to have a Team plan in order to gain more space (5TB), but I have no team to share this with. I use Dropbox on daily basis for everything, but mostly to send files to my clients and no space on a Dropbox is a huge problem for me. I am willing to pay for extra storage feature for Invididual plan.

I work as a freelance editor and director and need to share big folders with clients for short periods of time. The 3TB I have in my professional account is way to little. Upgrading to teams is not an option since it's just me. I would love the oppertunaty to upcrade my storage and keep my professional account.

Hello - currently I am a G-Suite customer with about 3TB currently in Google Drive. I was interested in switching to Dropbox, but the pricing for Dropbox is double that of G-Suite, and Dropbox doesn't have any of the custom emails, domain management, or other similar tools that come with G-Suite for half the price of Dropbox.

I think an appropriate pricing plan would be $10 ($9.99) a month for 3-5 terabytes, targeted towards individuals. I know photographers, film-makers, VFX artists, and software developers would all appreciate a plan like this since all of those hobbies have individual users (not strictly corporate/enterprise users), and I personally would switch to Dropbox right away if this pricing model was ever implemented.

Dropbox, please listen to your customers. Your competition is offering 10TB plans for less that you are charging for 3. I don't mind paying a little more for your service as long as it remains competitive...but it's not and hasn't been for some time. I don't need a professional plan with multiple licenses, collaboration tools or 3rd party apps. I just need dependable storage and I will start looking elsewhere if I need to.

This is also an issue I face. I use a business account from one employer and have maxed-out my personal plan.

I am involved in the creative industries and require a lot of storage capacity (running at ~6-8TB presently) for my personal use. I'm not interested in "value added" features just a basic service with selective sync and loads of space. And I'm happy to pay a competitive rate.

Presently, I use a combination of Google Drive, iCloud and OneDrive in addition to DropBox.

I have resorted to using NAS storage and a data backup service.

As far as I can see, there is a "willing" market for high storage personal user accounts. 

Whilst this "daft" voting system has some merit, might I suggest that none of the leading providers are offering a similar service and thus the first to do so will have my business and the rest can go f... themselves. 

I don't see why it's such a big deal to stick 10TB out there at say $30 /month and say take-it or leave-it. In my opinion, I believe the concern is that this could be hugely popular and thus overwhelm the existing infrastructure.

You saw my subject. Please make alternative for us. My financial is just enough and I need this dropbox storage badly to keep my memories alive. My only last wish is at least my kid or my other families still have this memories with them when my time is come. I don't know if 3TB is enough but I hope it enough to keep my memories especially for my only son as he loves me so much. I can't leave them with financial but I hope they can have this memories to keep them grateful. Thank you.

More options for individual users like space increasing or decreasing ; I cannot move on if I want to use more than 5 TB as an individual.

Three TB is just too small for me, but I am the only user and don't want to spend money on features I will never use.  The three user business accounts are too expensive  for me, and not a good fit.

Dropbox, please institute a 'Professional Plus' account for solo people like me, and charge another 33% for unlimited space.  My wallet is open but I currently have no upgrade path.
