Has anyone here used Dropbox for cloud storage?

I need about 9TB of storage. I think they have a plan that fits my budget, but the wording of the plan confuses me. It talks about teams & 9TB of space. Well, it's just me and I can't figure out if I have access to all 9TB's or is it divided up between teams.

If anyone knows anything, any help would be appreciated.

Microsoft is pretty much eating my data for automated cloud storage. It's fucked up my laptop by mirroring my office PC. Wish I could figure out how to stop it.

to store as well as collaborate with others in real time. My school now has servers for that sort thing so I dropped the subscription. I think they got hacked once, but I had no issues.

I am still confused on the wording "team" used in their description. I hope you understand what I'm talking about. is it 9TB total I can used or is it 3TB X3 that 3 different people use. I hope this makes sense.

I don't know anything about the teams thing but I have used Dropbox for many years. One thing to note is that you don't need the software installed to use it. You can use a web browser to access your account and files and upload/download in the web browser.

You likely get access to the full 9TB, but some plans divide it among team members. Check the plan details or ask support to confirm if the storage is dedicated to you as an individual.
