Family plan vs Professional plan
I can’t find the differences between the family vs professional plan. I currently have the professional plan but want my wife to be able to upload her pictures to her own “Camera Backup_wife” folder and I believe that is not doable unless I’m mistaken? I read that a family plan would allow her to do this but I can’t find a comparison of the plans and so I’m wondering if I would loss features switching from Professional to Family? Will I still have large file transfers? And unlimited devices?

Any device attached to your Professional plan will all upload to the same Camera Uploads folder. The Basic, Plus and Professional plans are all intended as individual accounts.
I can’t find the differences between the family vs professional plan.Family is more closely related to the Plus plan. It has 2TB of space (to Professional's 3TB) and you would lose a few of the business-grade features, but gain the ability to add up to 5 additional users, each getting their own separate account and access to the shared Family Room folder. All members of the Family plan share the 2TB of space.
Will I still have large file transfers? And unlimited devices?You'd still have unlimited devices (any paid plan does), but you'd lose large transfers. It would drop from 100GB to 2GB.
What are the other business-grade features that you lose out on? Was thinking about upgrading to Business for multiple users but seems liek family plan will work just as well and be cheaper

Hey OscarHarris02, you can compare the features that the Family plan offers to the features our team plans offer and then make your decision according to your needs.
I hope this helps!
