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 am a longtime user of Dropbox. Currently on the 3 TB / month 'Essentials' plan. I just ran out of that 3 TB, and via a chat with an agent, learned that there is a hard-to-find option in my account settings (not the Plan page that most links direct you to) where I can purchase 1 more TB for $5.99 / month.
The reason I'm posting here is, apparently after this 1 TB runs out, no more add-on options will be available to me. They said the next tier option for me is the business plan, which I am disappointed to hear because:
- I use dropbox for all my personal stuff, but I am not a business, nor will I ever be (in this context)
- It doesn't make monetary sense for me upgrade to the business plan, which has a 3 person minimum, with each person costing $18 / month. I'd go from paying $28 / month, to $57 / month, lol
- Hypothetically, if the $5.99 / 1 TB add-on could be purchased repeatedly, I'd have to purchase it 4 more times to be roughly equal to the business plan cost. At my current rate of file accumulation, I wouldn't be needing that 4th add-on for at least 8-10 more years. So I definitely can't justify paying for a business plan that whole time, when all those extra features aren't needed.

TL;DR: I'm worried and frustrated that when this last 1 TB runs out, I'm going to have to stop using dropbox and find an alternative product with a pricing structure that works for my situation, even though I'd prefer to remain a customer. Surely I am not the only person running into this issue?
