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 renewal of my subscription with this other provider is coming up mid-June, I was wondering if you are planning on implementing larger personal plans in the future? Ideally I'd love a package that has somewhere between 6 to 8TB.
Switching to a professional account is not an option, because:
- I already use a professional account from the company I work for, you can only use 1 personal and 1 professional account in the Dropbox software at the same time, and I don't want to upload my personal files to my company's account
- a professional account requires several licenses (3, I believe), while I only need 1
Therefore, I would like to suggest to implement the option to purchase a larger personal plan with more storage space than the current 3TB (of course the plan with 3TB should still exist for users who don't need more than 3TB).

I am currently an individual with a small business and I am on your 3tb plan. the features are perfect for me, but i need more storage. you have no options for me other than a business plan with multiple users (just me). Am being forced to explore OneDrive, since I have lots of space available from Microsoft I don't use. Same with my Google Drive plan. It means I may have to split up my data into different providers (not a bad idea, in case of a disaster), but really like having it all in one place. After so many years as a customer, I may be close to leaving if you cannot figure out some way to let me buy more storage! The use case doesn't change just because I need more storage. Please get creative and capture this market.

I wish Dropbox would provide an optiion to let me buy 5TB (and eventually 7TB or 10TB) of storage, as a single user. The only way I can currently get more than 3TB is to pay for 3 users, at triple the cost of one user - and there is no way I'm doing that. I also dislike the way it's advertised; it's misleading to see the cost as £10 for 5TB but then discover I have to pay for 3 users to get that option.
This seems like a very strange and abritrary marketing decision. I'm a professional photographer and we tend to have a lot of data. Like many others I know, I'd like to store copies of my data with Dropbox to keep files accessible from anywhere, but Dropbox doesn't offer an option to facilitate this. The result is that (like many others), I'm still on the free Dropbox package instead of becoming a paying customer, because to remain sane I need to store my entire archive, not just part of it.

I have a professional plan with the 3TB limit and it is almost full. Do I have to have more than myself in the Business Plan to go to Standard Business Plan? Basically, I would like to get the standard business plan with 5 TB with only myself.

I also would love to have an Individual (1 member) account with 4-6TB storage plan. Please make it happen.

I don't need and don't want 2TB of space. I need more than 2.75 GB of space. Why can't Dropbox offer something in between? Many other cloud storage companies offer reasonable space with reasonable prices. I don't need all the bells and whistles you keep throwing at us, just cloud storage.
I don't get it - it's a no-brainer - there are so many requests for this in the "Community".

+1. 3TB has been plenty for me for about the first year of use, but I quickly reached the limit when moving my entire workstation's data into Dropbox. As a VFX producer and photo/video professional, I'll need to scale up my storage capacity to have any longevity in this storage model. I'll have find another solution if I'll always be capped at 3TB.

I am a sole business owner and photographer and have being using Dropbox for storage. It has being excellent and at the moment on the 3TB pro individual plan. I am heading towards capacity and now have no options left.
PLEASE increase storage data for individuals and quickly before I have to find a whole new system. - psikes79New member | Level 2
I would just like to add my name to the list of independent photographers that need more than 3TB of storage for their individual plan. Please allow us to upgrade our individual plans to higher tiers of available space. Thanks!

Hope people keep voting for this. As much as I hate to suggest it, I see a lot of photographers on this thread so would recommend you look at SmugMug. I also use SmugMug for storing my personal photos. I tried with DropBox, but they are not very "friendly" for viewing/managing photos. SmugMug has unlimited storage and has great tools and viewing options, including mobile. If I moved SmugMug back to dropbox, I would need even more space. They really are missing their SMB/single user market. Good luck to all. Maybe someday dropbox will really try to listen and be responsive to their customers. As I learned early in my corporate sales days, it takes about 5x the effort and dollars to get a new customer vs. keeping an exisiting one. So in a situation where expanding storage would only drive more revenue, not create a liability, this makes little sense.
