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.

Agreed with the majority of posters here, that Drive would benefit from having options to just buy more storage as opposed to upgrading Proton accounts and just having a new fixed storage amount. This is currently the only thing keeping me using OneDrive--and I really want off of OneDrive.

Yeah it would be nice to have different scaling options. I don't want to have to get business/family just to have more space.
I think a simple extra $x per TB or something is simple enough. And then you can choose how many more TB you want, with discounts at higher quantities.

Sid commented
I'm pretty sure if we'd have more we would still ask for more :)
But still, I'd be glad to pay a bit more to get 1 TB. 500 Gb is unfortunately not enough for my 'important' files, so I'm stuck with other alternatives in the meantime.

1TB needs to be part of the selection. I work with large design files.

R commented
In some cases 500 GB is not enough if you're using another service and want to switch to Proton Drive.

I think this is a great upsell opportunity. I'd be happy to cut another cloud storage provider and pay Proton instead.

The biggest limitation in approaching Proton is the 500 MB capacity limit. If it reaches at least 1 TB, I will gladly sign up.
Today there is only the Family plan, but it offers services in which I am not interested.
It would also be very useful to be able to buy space when needed without having to change plans.

The biggest thing stopping me from completely switching to Proton fully from Google Workspace is the abysmal Proton Drive storage limit. I'd like to see storage addons available for purchase since 500GB is just not enough for my needs.

a terabyte or two would be wonderful. i just barely trimmed down my files to fit under 500gb after re-encoding all my videos, but another year's worth of work, pictures, and videos will blow right past that capacity. i can't properly switch without higher capacity (+ linux support lol)
