Question

How do I increase my Lightroom CC cloud storage?

I already have one TB but apparently need more and see no obvious option to buy it.

    I use a Sata docking station and SEVERAL 'bare' drives for backup of my desktop computer
    There are many external drive devices, this is the one I use

    I have a NAS with two terabytes but that is also full (photos plus music plus films). Instead of buying more local storage I decided to go with the cloud solution although that will be more expensive over time. But thanks for the suggestion!

    Does your NAS allow swapping drives in and out for more storage?

     

    The dock I use lets me have as many drives as I want

    As the question says, Adobe says I do not have enough storage but does not offer an option to increase.

    I went into a chat with an Adobe person (probably in India) who was able to sell me a Creative Cloud Pro subscription with two terabytes of storage to replace my current subscription of Creative Cloud and one terabyte. Somewhat more expensive but I want to be able to store and access all my photos of the last 15 years in the cloud so I accepted that. But you can’t find that option on their website, has to be done individually it seems.
