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.
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?
Glad to see that the Admins of this forum are still ignoring this request. I guess everyone at Dropbox is just allergic to money.
Here you have literally HUNDREDS of people asking for a price tier of ONE user with variable size levels. A HUGE INCREASE OF INCOME from people who on principle refuse to pay for three users when they are just a single user.
And what does Dropbox do?
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
I hope whoever runs this forum gets fired once the upper brass find out how neglectful these employees are.
I guess I need to start sending this TWELVE PAGE long feature request to all the Board Members to get any interest here.
I gave up about six months ago. I moved to another service, paying less and with unlimited space. I was a dropbox user for 10+ years and I was used to its app.
I do not regret. Now I don’t need to worry with space anymore.The app is not as good as deopbox but at the end it doesn’t really matter.
I’m writing this because I still get dropbox messages in my email asking me to upgrade to business plan, even though I’m not paying it anymore for months.
It is not worth it to keep with a service that down give a sh** to its customers.
does anyone know how we could escalate this to someone high up at dropbox?
an email perhaps.
what are the alternatives out there?
icloud?
Alternatives to dropbox:
Backblaze - not the same thing. it works as a mirror for you local drives. but it is highly recommended.
Jottacloud - quite similar to dropbox, unlimited space (although over 5tb the speeed is reduced). it is from norway and has a good reputation on privacy.
Google drive
Icloud
I chose Jottacloud and so not regret. I’m speaking by myself. The app is not so good as deopbox but it works pretty well.
Benjamin Gordon I gave iCloud a try for my Mac but it's nowhere near Dropbox, it's only geared toward syncing Apple products contents and doesn't work like Dropbox, so not an option sadly.
Blackblaze, I tried but only works as a mirror, and much slower. So not an option for me.
Jottacloud, gave it a quicky try a few months ago, not convinced, it's not as mature as Dropbox.
Google Drive I use it occasionally to share files but I've tried and even though they offer up to 30TB it's nowhere near as good as Dropbox. Also much slower sync and more limits per individual files that Dropbox doesn't really have. Also Google Drive doesn't handle well some extensions, whereas Dropbox is flawless. So not an option either.
shinbeth as i said, jottacloud is not as good as dropbox. but it is good enough to mirror files ans share them. it costs much less, it is pretty fast and it is unlimited.
the point is if you want to keep posting here that dropbox doesn’t care about its customers or if you want a solution.
to me jottacloud works, backblaze is a backup option.
rafajacinto and as I said, jottacloud sucks big time (it's merely for uploading pics lol) and backblaze equally since it only works as a mirror. Nothing that can be compared to Dropbox.
