I am running out of space with my 1TB drive. Is there an option to get 2TB? I know about Dropbox for business, with 5 Tb, but the price is just not compatible with my needs. It is too big a jump from 1Tb price to minimum of 5 users at $ 15 each.
Dropbox Professional plans will now have 2TB of storage space.

I want 2TB as well, but wouldn't mind 5TB either.. even better, unlimited! Dropbox desperately needs an upgrade.. physical memory is getting cheaper and cheaper by the year, and doubling in size. Videos do take up a lot of space, including the new 4K videos.
I've been paying for Pro since last year, and their service/infrastructure doesn't appear to be improving. Still waiting on their Project Infinite. Honestly, 1TB is not enough anymore... bring out the PB! I've been storing stuff on Mega just to make room in Dropbox.
I definitely would be interested in 2TB also. Backing up my photolibrary takes up almost 1TB alone. It's almost 2017 - get with it dropbox!

Keep in mind that Project Infinite is likely going to be a Business/Enterprise-only feature. It was announced on the Business blog; not the regular Dropbox blog (where global features are usually discussed).
A 2TB plan is definatly needed. I have close to running out of space and Dropbox Business doesn't have camera upload a feature I rely on heavily for syncing photos across mine and my wife's phone as well as part of my backup solution for them.
Even Apple are now offering 2TB on iCloud and I have been tempted to switch everything over.
I need 2TB. 1 TB is smal. Bussiness is for 5 user. Not good.
Any news?
Unfortunately the official line is if you want/need more than 1TB you need to use Dropbox for Business. Unfortunately this then comes with a $15/user price tag and a minimum of 5 users.
Very very need 2T for store data. My 1T is run out of data.
coool, thanks
I was realy begging Dropbox support for 2TB (and to pay for it).
Their offer to make 2 accounts with 1TB each or to make the 5TB contract is no option.
They are crazy enough to refuse customers requests and argue that Dropbox is too big to be flexible.
Fortunately customers are flexible.
I found Livedrive offering 2TB at the same price as the 1TB Dropbox.
Ergo, byby Dropbox
I run my own 1 person business and I've been asking dropbox for more than 1TB for a long time.
I have a 1 person organization, it's a shame that dropbox doesn't come up with Dropbox Business for 1 user only.
This is really killing. And now I'm using hacked software to run 2 dropbox instances on my desktop to get the 2TB worth of space that I so desperately need.Get your life together Dropbox.
I manage two accounts from the web browser. If they aren't willing to extend storage, they should at least create useful tools like an online de-duper or something. Cloud computing should be getting cheaper, and I think that's what I find so disappointing; that there is no real innovation happening, at least not on the home user side.
They recently renamed the Pro service, redesigned the website, and on top of keeping things generally safe (afaik), that's about all they have done in a 5-year span. Was looking forward to Project Infinite, but the kernel privileges are not a good idea. I don't know why they can't just follow odrive on this one.
Why on earth do you have to move to Dropbox for Business ($45 per month!!!) if you want more than 1TB with Dropbox Plus?!?!? This costs 5 times more than dropbox plus!
I have ALWAYS used dropbox and love it - but now I need more than 1TB but I am a student and there is NO WAY I could afford Dropbox Business. I would be more than happy to pay double for 2TB instead of 1TB - but Dropbox says they wont do this.
So unfortunately now I am looking at moving to Google Drive as they have 2TB option.
Very sad and disappointed I can't do this with dropbox.
I agree with what you say and something that I don't like too is that there is no lower rates than the 1TB for thoses who doesn't need the 1TB but more like 100, 200 and so on.
I think they should add a pay for use service that if you need 50 GB you pay for 50 and if you need more you just upgrade and if you need less you can just lower the rate. So that way they can get more users that doesn't want to pay a fortune for space and a more affordable one.
Yes I completely agree with you vinid223 - unfortunately they are going to lose customers because of this. Last night I moved to Google Drive and will no longer be paying to use Dropbox because of them not having any option over 1TB (other than business).
Dropbox PMs,
Fellow PM here who's a fan. You've built an amazing product. It just works. I know how difficult that is, so thank you.
And, as another customer who's hit the 1TB ceiling, it's not clear why there isn't a compelling offer when you go over 1TB. At 1TB, I'm a happy customer. Price and value are aligned. At 1.01TB, it's just absurd.
I cannot justify paying a 350% increase for the next tier of the same service.
And while I'm not leaving Dropbox, I'm placing files elsewhere to stay below 1TB.
Do you want to penalize the users who really use (and evangelize) your service? Do you want them to experience your competitors' products, not because they don't like yours but because your pricing model makes it infeasible to stay exclusively with you?
Again, you guys get a lot of things right. I hope this will be another one to put into the win column for you and your customers.

Just to point out, it's not the same service when you move to Business or Enterprise. There are many additional features and options when using the business class products which easily justify the additional costs. In addition to the enterprise-level features, there is also business-class support (live chat, phone, etc.) that you do not get with Basic or Plus accounts.
Simply put, you cannot compare the pricing/storage of Plus to Business/Enterprise as a simple apples to apples comparison. There is much more involved in the business class products.
Thanks, but I don't need an enterprise class product. I just want more storage. More of the same offer. I don't need those additional features and options. Going from 30 to 120 days of file recovery would be nice, but no other features (as I understand them) are of interest to me. Not even chat support, really. One of the things I like about Dropbox is that it just works-- I don't recall ever contacting support.
By the way, I'm comparing Plus, the plan I'm currently on, with Standard, the most inexpensive option for getting 2TB.
I get the need to segment customers (such as SMB vs Enterprise) from a sales & support perspective. On top of the core product, I'd expect greater access to support, more management features, etc. in an enterprise offering. But I just want to use the core product more, and a 3.5x premium to do that is irrenconcilable, especially when the scale economics in storage don't work that way.
It's really a straightforward ask. Provide a 2TB option. Heck, provide a 5 or 10TB option. I don't want to be having the same conversation a couple years from now when I'm at 2.01 TB.
More storage, please. I'm willing to pay for it. I'll even pay a little more than 2x... just not 3.5x.
I completely agree, some great ideas in here. I've been juggling two seperate Dropbox accounts but I hate having all my files in different places, it's unorganized. Dropbox is so obsessed with Business, that there is literally nothing happening on the home user (Plus) end that I have noticed. The only thing good about Business is the free trial and that's it.
Dropbox is more than unwilling to fulfill customer needs.
I found Livedrive!
It is much, much cheaper!
And you can choose the amount of space you need!!!
Presently I use Livedrive AND Dropbox, but will quit Dropbox soon.
Sorry for Dropbox!
I'm moving to Sync.comI tried contacting Dropbox Sales, and they just gave me that phony polite jibber jabber with zero solutions. Fact is — Dropbox cares nothing about you if you need more than 1TB and don't want a business account. They have phased you out. They are happy to lose your business.Sync.com gives you 2TB for the same price as Dropbox's 1TB. They seem to want my business. After over 5 years with Dropbox, I'm jumping ship. You clearly don't want my money, anyway.Cheers.
I switched after 3 year Dropbox Pro account to limitless jottacloud! Bye, forever.
Jottacloud sounds awesome, diggin the unlimited storage but my only concern is whether or not they will stick around or go belly up like Copy and several other clouds have in the past. I'm all for competition, but some things are just too good to be true..
and...:"things are just too bad to be true"
