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 1Tb price to minimum of 5 users at $ 15 each.
Dropbox Professional plans will now have 2TB of storage space.

Why on earth do you have to move to Dropbox for Business ($45 per month!!!) if you want more than 1TB with Dropbox Plus?!?!? This costs 5 times more than dropbox plus!
I have ALWAYS used dropbox and love it - but now I need more than 1TB but I am a student and there is NO WAY I could afford Dropbox Business. I would be more than happy to pay double for 2TB instead of 1TB - but Dropbox says they wont do this.
So unfortunately now I am looking at moving to Google Drive as they have 2TB option.
Very sad and disappointed I can't do this with dropbox.
I agree with what you say and something that I don't like too is that there is no lower rates than the 1TB for thoses who doesn't need the 1TB but more like 100, 200 and so on.
I think they should add a pay for use service that if you need 50 GB you pay for 50 and if you need more you just upgrade and if you need less you can just lower the rate. So that way they can get more users that doesn't want to pay a fortune for space and a more affordable one.
Yes I completely agree with you vinid223 - unfortunately they are going to lose customers because of this. Last night I moved to Google Drive and will no longer be paying to use Dropbox because of them not having any option over 1TB (other than business).
Dropbox PMs,
Fellow PM here who's a fan. You've built an amazing product. It just works. I know how difficult that is, so thank you.
And, as another customer who's hit the 1TB ceiling, it's not clear why there isn't a compelling offer when you go over 1TB. At 1TB, I'm a happy customer. Price and value are aligned. At 1.01TB, it's just absurd.
I cannot justify paying a 350% increase for the next tier of the same service.
And while I'm not leaving Dropbox, I'm placing files elsewhere to stay below 1TB.
Do you want to penalize the users who really use (and evangelize) your service? Do you want them to experience your competitors' products, not because they don't like yours but because your pricing model makes it infeasible to stay exclusively with you?
Again, you guys get a lot of things right. I hope this will be another one to put into the win column for you and your customers.
Dropbox is more than unwilling to fulfill customer needs.
I found Livedrive!
It is much, much cheaper!
And you can choose the amount of space you need!!!
Presently I use Livedrive AND Dropbox, but will quit Dropbox soon.
Sorry for Dropbox!
I'm moving to Sync.com
I tried contacting Dropbox Sales, and they just gave me that phony polite jibber jabber with zero solutions. Fact is — Dropbox cares nothing about you if you need more than 1TB and don't want a business account. They have phased you out. They are happy to lose your business.
Sync.com gives you 2TB for the same price as Dropbox's 1TB. They seem to want my business. After over 5 years with Dropbox, I'm jumping ship. You clearly don't want my money, anyway.
Cheers.I switched after 3 year Dropbox Pro account to limitless jottacloud! Bye, forever.
Jottacloud sounds awesome, diggin the unlimited storage but my only concern is whether or not they will stick around or go belly up like Copy and several other clouds have in the past. I'm all for competition, but some things are just too good to be true.. :sob:
and...:
"things are just too bad to be true"
;)- Well I want to move but I'm kinda stuck with Dropbox. I need help moving files over to a new cloud cuz my hard drive is small and won't hold everything. I've done it once before with SkyDrive but told myself I'd never do it again. It's a huge pain and really hard on the disk, and I may have lost files in the process.
I'm in the same ball park. I've been a paying customer in one way or another (business plans, personal plans, now the plus plan...) for 5 years. Now days I'm a freelance filmmaker (not a team of 3 or 5 people, just me). I sync everything but source footage to dropbox and I need more than 1TB.
Now I have to find another cloud service and spend a bunch of my time migrating **bleep**. This is stupid.
