    How to increase dropbox size?
    1 year ago
    1. Upgrade Your Dropbox Account: The most efficient way to increase the overall storage capacity of your Dropbox account is to upgrade to a higher tier subscription plan. Dropbox offers several storage options, ranging from the free Basic plan (2 GB) to the Professional plan (3 TB).
    2. Enable the Smart Sync Feature: Smart Sync is a feature of Dropbox that allows you to keep your files in the cloud, but still have access to them locally. For example, if you have a large file that you don't need to access frequently, you can Smart Sync it so that you can save space on your local hard drive, but still access it in the cloud.
    3. Utilize Third-Party Storage Services: You can link your Dropbox account to various third party cloud storage services, such as Google Drive and Amazon S3, and use those services to store larger files.
    4. Archive Files: You may not need certain files all the time, but still want to keep them for future reference. You can use the archive feature in Dropbox to store these files in long-term storage but free up space for more important files.
    5. Share Files and Folders: If you have files that multiple people need access to, you can share them with others using Dropbox. This allows everyone to have access to the same file without taking up space in your Dropbox account.
