You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Why can't a single user get an Advanced Account without paying for 3 users?
I'm frustrated with Dropbox plans. I'm a single user who doesn't want to pay for a 3 team plan to gain more storage capacity. Currently I'm in a 5T plan that my account shares jointly with the other...
Hi - I am a single user, storing mostly RAW files (that I dont need constant access to). Currently at 2.8 TB, but will need 5 TB, and possibly more in the years to come. I have upgraded from DB Professional (3TB) to DB Standard for Growing Teams (5TB). The cost for this is upwards now of $550 per year and is geared towards collaboration with a per user fee (3 users). What I'd really like to find is a reasonably priced solution just for me. Am I correct in saying that Dropbox doesnt have a plan that suits me? An individual plan with 5 TB or more?
Many thanks - I'm considering migrating to Backblaze and really would prefer to stay put. But $550 per year ($15 per user per month with 3 users even though I'm only 1 user x 12).
As I dont need always on access to many of the files, would Dropbox backup work as a solution?

That's correct. The largest individual plan Dropbox offers is the Professional plan with 3TB of storage, and you can add an additional 1TB of storage as an add-on (but only 1TB additional) from your Plan page.
That seems like a real miss from Dropbox. I will now leave them, and would have been happy to stay.
I've been looking for same option. But it's way cheaper to just move to Google One 5TB which is pretty much the same price as Dropbox 3TB. Or I just add 2TB of Google Drive for a small price.
DropBox appear to have had years of feedback that they need higher level single user plans, so I doubt anything will appear before my storage tops out in next few months. Google offer a good path to move off DropBox incrementally.
