Hi! I used to have a paid personal Dropbox account, until I outgrew the 3TB of storage space. I downgraded to a free Dropbox account and started storing my files with a different provider. As a renew...
I'm a single user working with ecological education and research projects. I work with a growing collection of high-resolution video and audio files to be stored for archival and analysis purposes. I’m approaching my max limit with Dropbox Plus (2TB+1TB) subscription, and will likely for the time being upgrade to Dropbox Professional for 4TB (a temporary fix). Furthermore, I want to purchase up to 5TB total now, with the option to add additional TBs as I go. However, higher or expanding storage is only available for “Business” or “Teams” with a minimum licensing of 3 users for an annual cost of about $720 for 9TB total. The Sales Team members I’ve been chatting with about my situation have hinted at single-user storage limits increasing “soon”. Any ideas (ballpark) as to when—3 months, 6 months, 1 year? Will there be a maximum limit, or will storage be expandable? Will each TB still be around $60/year, or can we expect packages and subscriptions to remain competitive in the face of all the newer alternatives coming out? Any hints, suggestions, or advice are appreciated, as I’m trying to find a solution that will serve well into the future.

The Sales person would have been the one to ask those questions. No one here will have that information.
Thanks Rich. Its odd as they were the ones who suggested I share my concerns here - with the idea that someone from the community or development team would be able to respond to my message. The Sales Reps said the could only advise on current products. 🤔

Hey there, JLNorris, I hope you're doing well!
Same as the Sales Reps, we only have info on current plans, and products.
However, I think what they meant is that you can share your suggestions here on the Community with us, and more specifically on our "Share an idea" section.
I was able to locate some ideas that suggest the same thing you need. You can find them here, and here. That way, you can upvote them and show your support. The more the merrier.
I hope this clarifies!
Thank you Megan, your reply was most helpful - especially by allowing me to upvote others in similar situations. I assume then your development and marketing teams DO read the ideas shared by users. I did feel better knowing there were others like me in similar situations - but clearly share their concern. I had not thought of the thousands of individual photographers, videographers, sound engineers, and the like who would be grateful clients for the opportunity to 'pay as you go' for increasing storage capabilities. You could maybe even offer pricing discounts as DB grows with the work of single user clients. It was also helpful to see their solutions to alternatives if DB does not make these adjustments. What saddens me is that many of those comments are 4 yrs old though!!!!
