Personal plans with more storage

Personal plans with more storage

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).

Hey Dropbox!  I am a high end commercial photographer and I run my work through my small business.  I would love a dropbox solution for companies with fewer than 3 employees with the option to expand my storage capacity.  As a photographer and cinematographer I often have to upload large files for clients.  Your individual plan doesn't work for me because 2TBs is not enough storage space and I don't want to pay for your Advanced business with a minimum of 3 additional users if my company only consists of a single person.  Realisiticly I need a solution for 10-15TBs so I can archive old jobs on Dropbox but still access them if a client comes back a year or two later to ask for the files or a change. 

 

If you had a solution for me and the millions of other photographers across the world I'm sure you'd be making many people smile.  Please create a solution for a creative artist of one with the ability to add on storage as needed. 

 

Thanks Dropbox!  ❤️

I am a digital media professional that needs A LOT of space for storing and sharing large media files (i.e videos, photos, etc). With my current plan, however, I am limited to 3TB. I need a storage option that I'm able to scale as I need it. 

 

Right now, I don't need the additional licenses under the Dropbox Business plan, but I DO need the additional space. It would be nice to have ala carte TBs. For instance, once I use my 3TB and I would like to add 1-2 more, I could add those TBS to my plan without having to add additional licenses or switch over to the Dropbox business. I'd pay a reasonable fee for an extra TB or 3. (see what I did there?) 

 

Will be glad to see this roll out soon!

I am currently an individual with a small business and I am on your 3tb plan.  the features are perfect for me, but i need more storage. you have no options for me other than a business plan with multiple users (just me).  Am being forced to explore OneDrive, since I have lots of space available from Microsoft I don't use.  Same with my Google Drive plan.  It means I may have to split up my data into different providers (not a bad idea, in case of a disaster), but really like having it all in one place.  After so many years as a customer, I may be close to leaving if you cannot figure out some way to let me buy more storage!  The use case doesn't change just because I need more storage.  Please get creative and capture this market.

Hi!

 

Is there any chance you can create a package for 1 user (Freelancer) with 50TB to 100TB of space?

 

I don't have a 'Team'. It's only me and a bunch of clients I need to share different folders with.

I've been using DB for 10 years now and it's great that it's so reliable.

My issue with it is that I need around 50 to 100TB at an affordable price (less than $500AUD).

 

Thanks for listening.

I wish Dropbox would provide an optiion to let me buy 5TB (and eventually 7TB or 10TB) of storage, as a single user. The only way I can currently get more than 3TB is to pay for 3 users, at triple the cost of one user - and there is no way I'm doing that. I also dislike the way it's advertised; it's misleading to see the cost as £10 for 5TB but then discover I have to pay for 3 users to get that option.

 

This seems like a very strange and abritrary marketing decision. I'm a professional photographer and we tend to have a lot of data. Like many others I know, I'd like to store copies of my data with Dropbox to keep files accessible from anywhere, but Dropbox doesn't offer an option to facilitate this. The result is that (like many others), I'm still on the free Dropbox package instead of becoming a paying customer, because to remain sane I need to store my entire archive, not just part of it.

 I have a professional plan with the 3TB limit and it is almost full. Do I have to have more than myself in the Business Plan to go to Standard Business Plan? Basically, I would like to get the standard business plan with 5 TB with only myself.

I also would love to have an Individual (1 member) account with 4-6TB storage plan. Please make it happen.

I don't need and don't want 2TB of space. I need more than 2.75 GB of space. Why can't Dropbox offer something in between? Many other cloud storage companies offer reasonable space with reasonable prices. I don't need all the bells and whistles you keep throwing at us, just cloud storage.

 

I don't get it - it's a no-brainer - there are so many requests for this in the "Community".

+1. 3TB has been plenty for me for about the first year of use, but I quickly reached the limit when moving my entire workstation's data into Dropbox. As a VFX producer and photo/video professional, I'll need to scale up my storage capacity to have any longevity in this storage model. I'll have find another solution if I'll always be capped at 3TB.
