You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Allow users to link personal quota, with space from another user.
Can you all please allow the ability to link other personal accounts to the primary account of a paid user?
I have the Essential plan and with three 3TB I would like to share some of this space with my 16 & 15 year old who are both digital communications majors in high school. This would be no different than me sharing my iCloud storage with them, but I have more space on Dropbox. They need the ability to edit, upload, and create videos/photos without me having to pay extra for space that I could just share.

You can do this with the Family plan, though be mindful of the age requirements. If you're outside of the United States, your 15 year old cannot have a Dropbox account until they reach 16.
That plan only includes 2TB and does not have the same features of the Essential Plan, hence why I mentioned sharing the data of that plan.

Teams and Family plans are the only accounts which allow for sharing of quotas.
This is submitted under the "idea" suggestion because I am saying that this could be something to implement that is NOT already in place. Which is why I did not mentioned the Team, or Family options. After 13 years with Dropbox I'm aware of what the plans are but, this is a simple idea. That if I am paying $230 per year that I at least able to share it with two people.
