Need more than 1TB storage on a Personal account

mikeleethomas

I'm following you out the gap as well mate. So frustrated that Dropbox make you sign to a business package if you run out of storage even though I'm a single user that cannot afford or do not require three licenses.

Very infair and very expensive. Just going to transition to Amazon Drive aswell. Can I asked how did you transfer all your files and data across. Was it a manual process or is there an automatic sync and trasnfer process.

What package did you go for with Amazon Drive do you mind me asking?

Great to hear your comments and opinions everyone.. I'm not the only one in this situation apparantly!

Are you reading this Dropbox? There is a huge hole in your available plans.

I'm thinking of stepping over to Apple, I'm an Apple user and they offer 2TB for $9.99/month. I use Dropbox for photography, I have my whole photographic library in the cloud and actually work on Dropbox with Adobe Lightroom and have not had any problems with this manner of working. Is there anyone else who works this way on Apple iCloud or Amazon Drive?

Need to be sure before I step over to another service.

I'm also interested in Amazon drive, I wish someone from the Dropbox team could atleast answer our discussion here...

The jump in storage and cost between personal plans and business plans is too large.

Please make a Professional plan with 2TB. I am approaching 1 TB of storage but am unwilling to pay increase required for a business account which is over 3 times more expensive.

For the photographers here tha Adobe Creative cloud solution looks attractive. I am evaluating it also since I am nearly out of my 1TB dropbox space.

Not that it matters to Dropbox - but unless the personal 2TB plan emerges befare the end of this year, I will will be jumping ship also. Been with them for a longggggg time - sad that they care so little about their customers needs. 

Hey Folks - thank you all for your input on this.

Individual plans larger than 1 TB would be indeed a wonderful option to have. 

Even though I cannot promise anything at the moment, I would suggest keeping an eye on it as we might be working on something similar :wink:

Thanks again for your feedback and have a lovely week! 

Far too late. A very very long time Dropbox Plus user but ran out of space and as a sole user I want able to afford or to justify paying for Dropbox Business paying for THREE licenses when I only needed one. Happily migrated over the Amazon Drive and gone from Dropbox forever. 

Dropbox is ANTI sole user and only interested in large businesses and making fasts amount of revenue.

I really find it so weird that there aren't any more plans. I used to loveeee Dropbox, really. I had everything in there, because I had been given 50 GB free with my Samsung S4, so of course the 1 year or 2 year gift trial ended, and I went to want to pay for dropbox (first time in 2 years), and the only plan was the 1Tb for 99$.

That just doesn't work for everyone else. I have tons of stuff, but not enough for 1Tb. I have always liked dropbox best but Google Drive gives you 100 mb for 20$ a year? So I'm over there now. Sorry.

Their thinking is that enough people will pay for the 1tb which costs 10 times more but then only store 150mb - they win both ways. Same with the business plans. The users they lose - 10% maybe, they wont pay anyway but the majority of remaining user base are continously being funneled onto higher end plans

i wish they could give control back to the engineers so they could innovate and grow the business that way instead of following bullet points from an out of date marketing handbook.

essentially by doing this they are converting customer good will into short term profit - people like us moaning, is it a good plan, time will tell - it cerainly doesnt fit with their branding, but there has to be value and that will only come from innovation especially as cloud storage  is commoditized.  

Easy to say from the comfort of my arm chair😊

I would just like to thank dropbox for making 2tb available for personal users starting today

thankyou!
