Capacity Question

I have very seldom used dropbox, and even then it was only the basic account.  Now I have a need to share some video files that total around 10,000,000 kb.  The website is confusing in that it advertises the Plus as, in one place, having 2 TB of storage, and in anther says 2 GB.  2GB won't handle my needs so what size account do I have to use.  Can I sign up for it and cancel after using?

    Basic includes 2GB for free. Plus includes 2TB. You can cancel, but you won't receive a refund. Your subscription would remain active until your next billing period, and at that point it would be downgraded back to Basic. If you only subscribe for a month, it's not a big loss.
