Allow a personal account to have more than 3 TB, or more than 4 TB with the add on
Hello,
I'm a graphic designer with over 15 years of workload. This obviously equates to extreme files sizes. I was disappointed to learn Dropbox don't offer a package for single users over 3TB. I work solely and require more cloud space and don't want to have to upgrade to a 'per user' plan as this isn't cost effective. This option has to become available soon.

I have to agree with everyone else’s comments. Your service is great just please allow a personal users limit to go up to 10tb. We all are here with money in hand to give you !

Been looking at my options in the short term and for futureproofing and after reading through these comments I’m honestly surprised something like this hasn’t been offered yet.
Like so many here, paying at least 3× the price with the associated hassle of dealing with three “users” is not remotely close to a viable option for a solo user.
Please offer an option to allow users to buy additional storage in reasonable tiers and prices – don’t force people to pay enterprise prices for lots of enterprise features that won’t be used.

Sad, Im a solo videographer. Strugging with holding 4tb of storage. I dont have a team, theres no need for me to spend close to x3 the price to add some storage relief. Your package scale doesnt help solo business owners. Ill be getting a nas system.
Anyone struggling with this you can buy a nas system with good ram and a solid eithernet upgrade port and run your own dropbox. - Robert DrakeNew member | Level 2
I'm about 6 months from having to migrate away from Dropbox due to the space limitation. It's baffling to me that they haven't created an upgrade path for solo freelancers with higher space usage.
- LynvingenNew member | Level 2
This is a no-brainer really. There's a lot of freelancers and even families with enormous picture libraries that need a good cloud-based backup service.
This needs a solution urgently, so we won't have to look elsewhere.
PS! One more thing - your backup solution needs some work as well. It should be an option to download/sync a complete backup to a new hard drive, without downloading individual/partial library zip-files (hope I won't ever have to do that again...). - slh-30New member | Level 2
I completely agree with the above comments. I am dangerously close to leaving Dropbox after at least 10 years of loyalty. I will never need more than 1 user in my account and will have to pay double for space with features I don't need. Just sell chunks of storage to individuals already.

The fact that there is no resolution to this after 2 years is pathetic. Thanks for doing absolutely nothing guys.

This issue has been a hot topic for quite some time now. Obviously Drop Box doesn't care to listen to their clients. I am wondering what other options people have used with success. I am at that point where I will need to kick drop box to the curb and go elsewhere. in this day and age of cloud storage....they are quite behind the times, and it's getting to be VERY FRUSTRATING!!!!

Please add more space to individual plans. For some, 3TB (+ 1TB Addon) is not enough. It would be great to have the option to add as many 1TB Addons as needed. 🤓
- Rai DamascenoNew member | Level 2Be able to buy as much storage space without upgrading to a enterprise, because for solo creators like myself, it would be great as google allows us to do the same, but dropbox has better performance and quality.
