Will there be a 2 TB option for personal accounts?
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...

Dropbox Professional plans will now have 2TB of storage space.

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.

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.
