More drive space for unlimited plan
Is it possible to get more storage by default than 500 GB in the unlimited plan? Microsoft, Google both give 2TB for their premium plans. The only options for upgrade on Proton seem to be a completely additional duo plan or family plan. If I do pay for the additional duo plan, does that mean I get 1 TB plus 500GB = 1.5 TB? I keep getting alarms to upgrade my Proton Drive unlimited plan and would like to upgrade, but not at another $14.99/month for what would only be 500GB more storage.

I need more Drive storage on my Unlimited plan, I don't want to subscribe to Duo (~2x the cost). Analogous service providers offer much more than 500GB at this price point. Storage is cheap. Cut the Proton AI product since no one is ever going to buy it, and use the savings to improve Drive storage.

Right now Proton Unlimited is capped at 500 GB and there isn’t a way to just add extra storage to that plan.
Upgrading to Duo or Family doesn’t stack storage with Unlimited, it replaces the plan. So you wouldn’t get 500 GB + 1 TB.
At the moment the only way to get more space is switching plans or using another storage service alongside Proton Drive.

Migrating from OneDrive with its 1TB storage to the 500GB in Proton Drive Unlimited is not possible for me, since I use more than 500GB in my OneDrive currently.
Migrating to Duo to get more space is not financially attractive, to say the least. I suspect I'm just going to hold my nose and continue with Microsoft 365.

Completely agree, I'm coming from OneDrive (1TB) and Google One (2TB) and to migrate to European cloud the only financially sound option is to find a different hosting party on top of my Proton Unlimited subscription and not use Proton Drive at all. 1TB should be the minimum and expanding just the storage an extra option.

For me it isn't possible to migrate my photos to Proton Drive if it's not possible to buy more storage without leaving the Unlimited Plan.
Why not just copy Apple iCloud? 500GB (better than their 200GB) and then 2T, 6TB, 12TB.

Duo plan gives 2TB now which is 1TB/user. Why is proton unlimited 500GB per user still???

All plans need a revamp on storage space. Proton Unlimited should give at least 1TB to be considered an alternative to other companies.

Is there any plan to offer more than 500 GB by default on the Proton Unlimited plan? Competing services like Microsoft and Google provide 2 TB with their premium tiers, so the current limit feels a bit restrictive for heavy Drive users.
Also, the only visible upgrade paths seem to be Duo or Family plans. If I were to add a Duo plan, would that storage stack (for example, 500 GB + 1 TB = 1.5 TB), or does it replace the existing Unlimited storage?
I’d like to upgrade due to the storage warnings I’m receiving, but paying an additional $14.99/month for what appears to be only 500 GB more doesn’t feel like good value. Any clarification or future plans for flexible storage add-ons would be greatly appreciated.

They could for example make something like proton unlimited + custom drive 1Tb for 12 euro. 2Tb for 15 euro, 5Tb for 18 and 10Tb would be 20 euro for everyone
