Can I purchase 1 more TB for my Plus account to reach 4TB?

Good morning, 

 

I currently have a Dropbox Plus account. I've already included a 1TB add-on with this. Now it's starting to fill up as well, and I'd like to add an extra TB to a total of 4TB. I don't see the need to switch to a Professional account, where I have to pay directly for 3 users, while I don't use this.

is there a way to extend my Plus account?

Thanks in advance.

    Hi @AndreaK88, and thanks for posting on our Community today. 

     

    When saying that you’d need to select a Professional account for 3 users, are you referring to our Dropbox team plans perhaps? 

     

    I’m asking because we also have a Professional plan indeed, which is designed for individual users, and gives by default 3TB of space (so, with your space add-on, you’d have 4TB in total).

     

    Let me know if that helps.

      Hi Nancy, can you clarify if you can only increase limits with a max of 1tb ? so Plus would have a ceiling of 3tb and Professional would have a ceiling of 4tb ?? or can you keep buying 1tb units so you could have a 10tb Professional account for example ?

      Thanks in advance

        Hey tenorphoto! The 1TB is a one-time add-on indeed, meaning you can only purchase it once for your Dropbox account and increase its space to 3TB (for Plus) and 4TB (for Professional).

      Thank you for your quick response. I had indeed seen the "professional plan", but I did not know that my 1 TB add-on from my "Plus account" would then move with me. If so, that would be enough. Does the Professional plan also have the option to add another extra TB later?

        The Professional plan includes 3TB of space, and you can purchase the same 1TB add-on to reach a maximum of 4TB.
