Will there be a 2 TB option for personal accounts?
I am running out of space with my 1TB drive. Is there an option to get 2TB? I know about Dropbox for business, with 5 Tb, but the price is just not compatible with my needs. It is too big a jump from...
Dropbox Professional plans will now have 2TB of storage space.

I just asked about this as I'm up to 75% of my 1TB allocation currently and fortunately have OneDrive since I use the Office365 so I can put some overflow on that platform.
The problem is that I asked them about the Business plan option after seeing that it was $15 monthly. Then I read the fine print and it said "for 3 users." So I asked support if I had to buy 3 licenses and they said, "but you don't have to use the licenses right away" and they kept bringing that point up. I tried to explain to her if I could just get 1 license at $15 instead of having to be stuck paying for $45 to have 3 licenses with 2 of them that she said that I don't have to use them right away... she kept insisting this was a good deal to pay for licenses I wouldn't be using.
Sadly, she said in the end that, "well, you could just use our Dropbox Plus and have 1TB...." and I realized..... she was incredibly stupid.
The only reason I don't put my critical files on OneDrive or Google Drive is that those two platforms have problems. OneDrive periodically gets stuck in some kind of weird issue where it always says, "Processing changes....." and never stops it. If you have folders with lots of files and subfolders, it often gets lost and takes forever to sync. Google Drive is one where I've lost lots of files when trying to keep two computers in perfect sync (like an iTunes directory with library files and media files then setting up a directory junction on Windows so when I launch iTunes on my home PC or my laptop that it sees it as the same instance and my iPod Classic can sync to either one without issue -- very convenient).
The only platform that handles that well is Dropbox. Never had an issue. Much like when everyone dropped prices on 1TB to $10/mo, Dropbox took a long time to drop those prices but eventually did. I hope that eventually they come to the conclusion that 2TB at $20 is a reasonable price to pay and we'd probably all end up paying it if they just gave us that option.. even with the same feature set.
