How to get more storage space on your Dropbox account

The number of files you can store in Dropbox depends on your available storage space. If you're running low on storage space, you can:

• Earn free storage space
• Upgrade your Dropbox plan
• Buy additional storage space

If you're not sure how much space you have left, learn how to check your storage space.

How to earn free Dropbox storage space

Dropbox Basic offers 2 GB of starting storage space for free. To earn more storage space, you can refer your friends, family, and coworkers.

How to upgrade your Dropbox plan

If you have a Dropbox Basic account, you can upgrade to Dropbox Plus to get 2 TB of storage space.

If you work with two or more people, consider upgrading to a Dropbox team plan, which starts with 3 TB of storage space.

How to buy storage space add-ons

Dropbox admins on a Standard, Advanced, Business, or Business Plus account can buy additional storage space in 1 TB increments, up to a maximum of 1,000 TB (including space allocated from users/licenses). Additional storage space is shared across the team.

Dropbox Plus or Standard users can purchase additional storage space in 1 TB increments.

How to buy additional storage space as a team admin

1. Log in to dropbox.com using your admin credentials.
2. Click Admin console in the left sidebar.
3. Scroll to Storage.
4. Click Get more space.
   • To download a storage report before purchasing, click Get storage report.
5. Follow the on-screen options to either buy additional space or upgrade your plan.

How to buy additional storage space on Dropbox Plus or Standard

1. Log in to dropbox.com.
2. Go to dropbox.com/manage.
3. Click Add-ons.
4. Select the 1 TB storage add-on and purchase.

How billing works for additional storage space

Your storage add-on takes effect immediately, and you’ll be charged a pro-rated amount until your next billing cycle. You'll then be billed based on your subscription period.

For example, if you pay per year for your Dropbox subscription, you can only buy yearly storage space add-ons. You can view your storage pack price on your billing page.
