Hi, there was a post here regarding creating 2TB, but it was closed now, click here to view.

Many users have reported that they got downgraded in less than a week, but I will show you what I did to get my account upgraded to 3TB without issues so far.

1- I had a dropbox account which I haven't been using at all, and was registered with my real email, I went to the settings and deleted my account completely.

2- I followed the instructions in the post and registered another account using a fake email.

3- I upgraded to 2TB, and then upgraded to 3TB with no issues.

4- I changed the account email to the real email that I use, they sent a confirmation email and it was changed successfully, and changed account first name and last name as well.

5- Now the 3TB account is linked with my real email not with the fake one, I signed out from dropbox and created a new account with the same fake name & email I used in the beginning.

Now I kept that fake account for dropbox to deal with :), and I have been enjoying 3TB with my real email for around 4 weeks with no issues at all, there was a possibility to upgrade to a higher plan, but it was better to stay out of risk (y), 3TB is not bad at all :cool:

Don't forget guys, first upgrade and then change the email

Give it a try guys and see :)

Hi,
First upgrade to 2TB using the instructions here, and when done, upgrade to 3TB with the same IBAN information, but remember, don't change email before you upgrade

Thanks bro!
We don't know what will happen exactly after 1 year, will it be 3TB forever or not, but since the invoice and other details belong to the fake account; I suppose they would check the capacity of the fake account and would try to change it to a free account and they would find it already has 2GB, and I suppose they would not know that email has changed as the fake account was created one more time and there are no records showing email change, but I really can't predict what would happen exactly after 1 year, so let's hope it stays 3 TB forever.

If you go to Setting/ Personal Account / Billing , you will see your new email is on the invoice/receipt. So let's see, what will happen. Thx bro!

Yes, but that is for your own records, but at the moment of billing; details were sent to them with the fake email account, anyway I passed 4 weeks without problems, let's see what will happen.

I pushed data about 12GB from 3TB space. Now got shut down back to 2GB. Data still there but can't add anymore.
