Family plan is too expensive for what it offers
While I would like to have the ability for my wife and I to share a combined account with our own individual logins - it's not worth the extra $80/year, almost doubling the cost for only a limited i...
We are a family of five and would love to subscribe on the Dropbox Family plan. The bill would be around 204€/year, which is quite okay. Google Drive is a bit cheaper, but Dropbox has a more intuitive user interface.
However, we fear to hit the 2TB limit at some point. The Dropbox Family plan has no way to increase that limit. The closest plan I could find would then be "Dropbox Standard for Teams", clocking off at 720€/year for five team members (actually 871.20€/year in Belgium because of 21% VAT tax). That is just way too expensive.
So, what can we do in case we hit the 2TB limit (except for shelling out close to 1000€ per year)?
Thanks for your help.
Kind regards,

The Dropbox Family plan is just perfect to store and share family pictures and videos. However, 2TB is a bit on the narrow side - especially when storing lots of videos.
It should be possible to buy extra storage in this plan.

Hi @Megan,
Thank you very much for your reply. I'd love to have some feedback once this topic has been discussed internally. I'll wait for your feedback before making my purchase decision.
I hope to buy the Dropbox Family plan. If there's absolutely no way to increase the 2TB upper limit (be it now or perhaps next year), then I have no choice but to look at cloud storage from competitors. It would be a bummer, because I love the Dropbox user interface.
Kind regards,

Hey kristofmulier, thanks for your reply here!
While there are no plans for the storage of the Family plan to change/increase in the near future, if such a change does happen, it will be announced so that all of our users will know.
Thanks for your preference, though, we really appreciate it! 🙂
