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.
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 renew...

JLNorris unfortunately there's no alternative to Dropbox as of 2024, you have to wait either (1) they go bankrupt for not providing what customers (we) need (that is, expanding Pro plans to like 10/20/30TB, like Google Drive, instead of 3TB) or (2) they finally deliver (which they failed to achieve so far).
I'm suspecting 3 possible causes:
1. massive layoffs in tech recently, including their product/engineering teams, which as result ignored our request and no longer a priority in the product roadmap
2. deliberate/desperate/pointless attempt to force people to sign up for Business plans (the thing is, I don't need a Business plan as I'm a freelance with only 1-user, and the Business plan ruins the experience since it creates a 3-user repository that I don't need + the 3-user repository is a different product meaning I can't even migrate from my current 3TB pro, also it creates another sub-folder level)
3. sheet incompetency (usually that's my favorite explanation), as increasing 3TB pro plans to say 10TB pro plans would take 2 minutes - perhaps they no longer have software engineers to change this line of code? Or they moved the entire engineer overseas to like India (stupid move) and got hijacked?
Anyway good luck.
