You're not a potential customer. They gave up on consumers and focus on companies. Cannot blame them they don't want to lose money on individual users like the competition.

Even the business plans make no sense. 5TB to share between all employees? Or pay a lot more and get no real answer on what their 'as much as you need' means. It sounds like you have to contact their support and explain why you could possibly need more and then its up to them to decide.
Google workspaces is still a better deal and they're not currently even limiting storage.

And yet they are cutting 11% of their staff because they are losing money...
Maybe they should figured out somewhere inbetween.

They are losing big enterprises to Office 365 too. I know at least three 100k+ companies which moved to OneDrive from Dropbox (with lot of grumble from employees to add) in the last couple of years.
They compete with Google for startups and small companies.
They are stuck in the middle and both Google and Microsoft are crushing them from above and below.
Having healthy consumer subscriptions wouldn’t hurt.
