Allow a personal account to have more than 3 TB
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....

XDC Indeed, the storage solutions you mentioned might be sufficient for 4TB Mac owners, but Apple has been offering 8TB MacBook Pros like mine since 2019. Consequently, I require at least 8TB for my MacBook, plus an additional 1-2TB for miscellaneous files, transfers, and extra storage, totaling around 10TB. Ideally, I'd double this to maintain a bi-weekly Carbon Copy clone of my MacBook for utmost security. This clone, which I prefer not to sync locally for now (awaiting the day Apple introduces a 16TB internal SSD), should be stored on Dropbox as well for maximum peace of mind. I also perform real-time backups with Time Machine on two identical external SSDs, alternating them between two different locations (one at home, one at a secret remote location) for added security against potential fire or theft. Thus, my ideal Dropbox plan would be 18TB, considering Google Drive already offers the 30TB option I don't get why Dropbox does limit itself to a ridiculously low 3TB. Nonetheless, I'd be content with an 8-10TB plan for now. It's time for Dropbox to evolve; the era of needing only 2-3TB is behind us.
While we might dream of quantum computing enabling ultra-fast cloud SSDs linking Dropbox or iCloud to our machines in real time, for now, we must focus on realistic and incremental improvements - let's go with small wins 🙂 Take our money Dropbox, everyone is asking for it, what are you waiting for?
