Adding purchasable storage add-ons across all plans, including Family, is a necessity.
As Proton Drive matures into a serious alternative to Big Tech cloud storage, the inability to purchase additional storage on top of existing plans is becoming a real blocker for long-term adoption.
The Family plan's 3 TB ceiling is easy to hit when photo and video backups from multiple members are involved — especially since phone backups count against the same shared pool. At that point, the only options are a Business plan (wrong pricing model for personal use) or leaving Proton Drive for a competitor.
A simple per-TB storage add-on — similar to what iCloud+ offers — would solve this cleanly without requiring users to switch plans or overpay for features they don't need. It is worth noting that iCloud+ with Advanced Data Protection enabled is a credible privacy-respecting alternative, which means Proton is not competing on privacy alone here.
This is a basic retention issue: users who are already committed to the Proton ecosystem shouldn't be pushed out by a storage ceiling with no upgrade path.
