Will I be able to use more than 600 GB of storage?

macOS Tahoe 26.0.1

Question:—

My account has 2.01 TB of storage - can I expect to be able to use more than 600 GB of storage?

Two years ago I ran into a problem when trying to store more than 600 GB and was advised by a member of the Dropbox Help Team to keep within that limit for an optimum performance.

I am now planning to transfer my current Dropbox folder containing less than 600 GB to a new Seagate Ultra Touch HDD. and run Dropbox from there on my new iMac. As my account has 2.01 TB of storage is there any reason why I should not be able to exceed the 600 GB limit I have been adhering to?

I want to be able to get the full benefit of my 2.01 TB account but am concerned that if I try I will encounter the same problem I had two years ago - i.e. Dropbox updating interminably.

Please advise,

Norman Fellows

Hi @Archiblog

I actually think the issue they've referred to relates to the number of files you can store rather than the size of the files. The soft limit on files is usually around 300,000 irrespective of the size of them: https://help.dropbox.com/storage-space/file-storage-limit
