increase cloud storage

Have been trying to upgrade my cloud storage from 1TB to perhaps 4-5 TB.  I’m not finding a way to do this from either the web or the creative cloud app.  The online docs tell me to ‘manage plan’ or ‘upgrade’, but these options show me how I can change my available apps (don’t need that).

Searching the community (questions) - I’m not seeing anything newer than several years ago, and all of the answers steer me to ‘manage plan’, which doesn’t do it.

Y’all are making it difficult to upgrade.  Is there a way to do this?

    with individual subscriptions you cannot increase beyond 1 tb.

    Get an external drive from Amazon:

    thanks - but I’d hoped that Adobe would have offered better capacity than 1 TB.  I’d wanted to consolidate to a single solution end to end with Lightroom.

    Telling me I need to carry my own storage and manage my own backups is also telling me to look for a better solution than Lightroom.  That’s a shame - I’d expected better from a company branding its ‘plans’ as ‘cloud’.

    Would be nice to hear why that’s the case.  Used to be possible, according to friends who upgraded to migrate their older photos from Lightroom CC.
