Honestly, I think that Dropbox is pretty anti-sole proprietors (SP).  A ton of your newest SPs are creatives.  So 1TB of space can be chewed up fast, especially for photographers using it as a cloud back up for projects still in process.  So for $9.99 you get 1TB, but the only way to get more space would be to pay $45 for 2TB because the next storage size up is only available for $15 a month per user with a 3 user min.  For SP, this means you are having to pay for two users that don't exist.  So $9.99 for the first TB and then $35.01 for the next TB is like charging $700 for an epi-pen.  If they really cared about being attractive to SPs then they would offer a single user 2TB option in the $19 range.

Transitioning over to Amazon Drive - customer service has been super helpful with trying to make things work, which seems to be lacking at Dropbox. Turned my annual renewal off so I'm out of here! 

Syncing your files as an individual is meant to be easy.  Thanks for making life a headache Dropbox for all the early adopters (littles guys not the businesses) - you too customer support!

I'm following you out the gap as well mate. So frustrated that Dropbox make you sign to a business package if you run out of storage even though I'm a single user that cannot afford or do not require three licenses.

Very infair and very expensive. Just going to transition to Amazon Drive aswell. Can I asked how did you transfer all your files and data across. Was it a manual process or is there an automatic sync and trasnfer process.

What package did you go for with Amazon Drive do you mind me asking?

Great to hear your comments and opinions everyone.. I'm not the only one in this situation apparantly!

Are you reading this Dropbox? There is a huge hole in your available plans.

I'm thinking of stepping over to Apple, I'm an Apple user and they offer 2TB for $9.99/month. I use Dropbox for photography, I have my whole photographic library in the cloud and actually work on Dropbox with Adobe Lightroom and have not had any problems with this manner of working. Is there anyone else who works this way on Apple iCloud or Amazon Drive?

Need to be sure before I step over to another service.

I'm also interested in Amazon drive, I wish someone from the Dropbox team could atleast answer our discussion here...

The jump in storage and cost between personal plans and business plans is too large.

Please make a Professional plan with 2TB. I am approaching 1 TB of storage but am unwilling to pay increase required for a business account which is over 3 times more expensive.

[Stuart L.9]

For the photographers here tha Adobe Creative cloud solution looks attractive. I am evaluating it also since I am nearly out of my 1TB dropbox space.

Not that it matters to Dropbox - but unless the personal 2TB plan emerges befare the end of this year, I will will be jumping ship also. Been with them for a longggggg time - sad that they care so little about their customers needs. 

[Walter]

Hey Folks - thank you all for your input on this.

Individual plans larger than 1 TB would be indeed a wonderful option to have. 

Even though I cannot promise anything at the moment, I would suggest keeping an eye on it as we might be working on something similar 

Thanks again for your feedback and have a lovely week!

Far too late. A very very long time Dropbox Plus user but ran out of space and as a sole user I want able to afford or to justify paying for Dropbox Business paying for THREE licenses when I only needed one. Happily migrated over the Amazon Drive and gone from Dropbox forever. 

Dropbox is ANTI sole user and only interested in large businesses and making fasts amount of revenue.
