I too have been a Proton Unlimited subscriber for about five years and I think that 540GB of storage space on Proton Drive is a limitation. The demand from paying users to obtain customized "cuts" of storage spaces (for example 1 minimum batch of 540GB, 2 batches 1080GB, 3 batches 1620GB and so on) in exchange for a modest increase in the subscription fee, I think deserves attention. Furthermore, Proton should pay attention to adapting its offer to people like me who have no reason to pay more for a "Duo Plan" or a "Family Plan", when what they need is just a little more storage space on Proton Drive. In conclusion, here is the need to submit to the Proton team: would you consider the idea of increasing the minimum storage space of Proton Drive to 1080GB for free for Proton Unlimited subscribers, making available "lots" of additional capacity at competitive prices? I remain at the Proton team's disposal for any further information and/or clarification on the matter. Thanks in advance for your attention. Best regards.

I'm a Proton Unlimited subscriber, but was a bit surprised when I saw only 500GB of Proton Drive storage included given that there are plenty of other options for secure cloud storage. As much as I have no issue paying a bit more for Proton's services, I also understand that no organization is immune from compromise (see zero-knowledge cloud storage provider "SpiderOak" and their breach earlier this year), not to mention that Proton still has competition in the market despite others believing they are the end-all-be-all for secure services and storage. While Proton is definitely worth paying a bit more money vs. other providers given their consistent updates/product development/overall noticeable dedication to creating the world's best, most secure services (just my opinion), I still don't feel that 500GB of Proton Drive storage space is acceptable for individuals who are paying a premium for the services. Additionally, for individuals such as myself, I have no reason or inclination to pay more for a Family Plan, Visionary Plan, etc. when all ‘m seeking is additional Proton Drive storage space. I do not require access or storage for additional users, etc. considering I’m the one and only user who uses these services. @Proton, would you ever consider increasing the minimum Proton Drive storage space to 1TB for Proton Unlimited Subscribers, while making additional capacity “add-ons” available at reasonable, competitive prices for Unlimited accounts/individual users? I'm happy to be a guinea pig for anything you'd like to beta test, and a huge “thank you” to the Proton team for all of the effort they continue to put forth into their products and services!

Agree this is an important idea that needs to be improved. Perhaps it is lower than competitors because of how encrypted it is on both ends and this affects their offering? Either way, more storage please yes!

more space as additional cost should come asap

For the price of Unlimited, 500GB feels short to be honest compared with other apps (I think it should be 1TB).
But also Proton should offer ability to buy additional storage if you need it.

The proton unlimited plan would be perfect for me, but I can't get it because I have over 500GB data. I hope you rise it to 1TB fast, no problem if price goes up a bit.

Being a holder of an unlimited plan, I'm happy with the feature set. However, I must agree that the possibility to have more storage is important.
It could be a simple price add-on (+10 EUR/year for additional 500GB, for instance), as apple does. -

Would be nice to get more storage. Keep the current limits, but if you would like more, it would be a paid service above and beyond the membership fees. I have 530GB right now and that is more than enough, but I can see others needing more space.

Reading through the comments, I'm not sure but there is a Family plan and a Visionary plan which is now available again as well. People should remember that Proton is not a price fighter nor do they want to be. Most people here comparing prices and so on, makes no sense, if it's only about the price you can find cheaper places. You pay for privacy and security, you pay for Proton to keep your data safe and to support them to develop more tools. The fact is for an average user 500GB is more than enough. I mean look at the price, for 6TB at the Visionary plan its reasonable to me as well, it's average priced, not the cheapest and not the most expensive either, but they do respect your privacy.

Yes, I agree with larger storage. I want to DeGoogle myself from Google. To do that I would need all the services in one place, not only that I need more storage.

Just recently storage was increased for the free account.
Others offer:
Dropdbox: 2TB for €9.99
Microsoft 365 Personal: 1TB for ~€5.5
Sync.com: 2TB for €8
ICloud: 2TB for €11.20Please increase storage as a baseline from 500GB to 1TB per User. most people won't use it anyways and for those who do, it has an big impact. + It looks better on paper. 500GB sounds for most people to low and not future proof, even though they don't require that amount.

For the Unlimited Privat Bundle, there should be an option for 1TB. 500GB is not enough anymore and the 3TB is to expensive.

I am a full-time video editor that has just started using Proton's Suite as of about 2 weeks ago.
The fact I only get 500GB of Storage unless I upgrade to a Family Plan makes using Proton Drive to backup archives of projects IMPOSSIBLE and unreasonable. I already have about 1TB of Data I need to backup to both the cloud and locally, I don't feel comfortable using Google Drive. So where does this leave me? Wishing I had this feature, that's where.

Possible naming scheme for the plans at different storage tiers:
Unlimited 500GB/1000GB/3TB/6TB
Family 3TB/6TB/12TB
Visionary 6TB/12TB/18TB -

Unlimited user here.
500GB is tight for me. Most other providers offer 1TB/2TB options.
As others have mentioned, I'd be happy to pay a bit extra for more storage. -

I'm good for today, but this must come in the not too distant future!

Sean Reilly commented
1TB is kind of the standard among other companies. Please offer a 1/2tb option

This is a much needed feature. Proton Unlimited's 500GB are not enough. Same goes for Proton Mail Plus's 15GB. The prices are very expensive compared to other providers like Apple, Google, Microsoft and the storage offered is too little. Okay Proton provides privacy and a bunch for mail features but still, the storage offered at these prices is too little for 2024.

Here is my case, I have planned to join Proton last year. Specially when I saw a video on X about Proton Pages. At that moment, I knew my time with Google is almost over. Yet, I have hesitated when I saw the plans and my only option was a family plan because of the drive's size. As mentioned by others, it's more than my needs. I would prefer to get an individual plan with at least 2 TB. I have made a document for my future plan which includes an upgrade to a 6 TB of drive in the coming years. I have took 3 of my votes for this suggestion and I would appreciate if Proton Implement it. I have no problem paying 10 times the price of Google to have a secure-private services. Thx for the hard work Proton.
