Longterm Storage

[ZeroCo2]

I wish there would be a cost-effective way of storing a few TB's of Date on Dropbox ! I am currently exploring buying a few SSD drives in order to store Data - yet my research tells me that Cloud-storage supposed to be safer ! It would be great for Dropbox to offer this service - One Single License - No collaborators - a limited number of montly Up and Dowloads ( Like transfers etc with a Bank acct ) with a very competitive price !! 

Who's with me ? lol 

Dropbox are you listening !?  😉

Hi @ZeroCo2, thanks for messaging the Community!

Could you clarify what you mean by longterm storage exactly? 

Are you referring to a lifetime plan for a single purchase without subscriptions, or a plan that allows you to increase your quota beyond the existing plans?

Any other info would be helpful!

well based on my research 'cloud-storage' seems to be safer than conventional HD or SSD Storage! YES deff very LONG TERM Storage ! Envision a physical ( brick and mortar ) storage unit, a place you have all the stuff from your childhood you can not part with - you probably go to that storage place once a year, to shuffle around some boxes and add more ' junk' lol ... very low key & low maintenance ! The one we have here in Vegas is like 150.- / year  - and I wish, that this kind of concept would be available from our friends @ #DROPBOX ! 

Single user, no frills, no links, no sharing, NONE of all the cool stuff DB offers - just pure and simple Cloud Storage space @ a super competitive annual price !

Technically, this is already possible with Dropbox, provided you login once every 12 months to prevent the account from being deactivated due to inactivity. 

Assuming you want to store a lot of data, you'd need to upgrade your storage to a paid plan, and continue to pay for the subscription, like you would with the retail storage units.

You also don't need to share anything on your account either. If you want to prevent syncing, you can upload the files to the site directly.

thank you for the follow up Jay 

I do have a paid account ( 2 TB ) 

So what are you suggesting  !? 

ONE user - up to 5TB of CloudStorage - paid anually ? I do not see anything like this being offered by DB

Okay, so your request is to have more than the 3 TB of quota offered with the Dropbox Professional plan, is that correct?
