Hi, Other cloud storage platforms free plans are given minimum of 15 to 20GB storage. Bitwarden paid subscription gives only 1GB. Requesting you to please consider it providing good amount of storage
@sathish Welcome to the forum!
… you do know, that Bitwarden is a password manager - and not a “cloud storage platform”?!

@sathish Welcome to the forum!
Please log in the the Web Vault, then go to Settings > Subscription. In the “Add-Ons” section on the “Subscription” tab, you can add additional storage for $4.00 per GB /year.
Closing this feature request topic as implemented.
… I guess, @sathish meant the default storage.
In Bitwarden’s business model, 1GB free plus $4.00/GB/year is the market rate. So if the default storage capacity is going to be increased from 1GB to 15GB for premium accounts, it follows that Bitwarden would increase the premium subscription fee from $10/year to $66/year.
The majority of users would not find this acceptable, so Bitwarden would have to make the 15-GB plan optional, offering 1GB for free by default (and allowing interested users to upgrade to 15GB of storage for $66/year — or $56/year in non-premium accounts). This would take us back to status quo ante, so the feature request is in fact already implemented.
Agreed. A feature request (no mandate for implementation!) for 2GB default might be reasonable, though.

Even though just a password manager, you are providing the feature to upload documents or files for storage. So its beyond just password manager and its a storage platform. It would be feasible if provided at least 10GB in this competitive arena
I don’t share that conclusion. (and neither me nor @grb are Bitwarden employees, so it’s not we who are providing that feature)
Which other paid cloud password manager provides 10GB storage (or more?) by default?
PS: As I already wrote, I could imagine a feature request about 2GB default, which would be twice (!) the amount as currently. - Regardless of what other password managers might provide, a request to go from 1GB to 15GB seems “far too extreme” to me.
you can imagine 2GB, my side its 10 comparing to other competitors like Keeper (10GB), Dropbox (Free 2GB, Paid 2TB), Google (Free 15GB)
Dropbox is not a password manager, but a cloud storage provider. And you can’t compare Google with Bitwarden (a dedicated password manager) either, as Google offers “only additionally” also password management (and mainly other things, like also “cloud storage”).
As I see it, Keeper is for individuals already $3.33 per month. The 10GB storage would be an additional $1.04 per month. → so $4.37 per month would get you also the 10GB of storage with Keeper. And you now want the same amount of storage for the less than $1 per month with Bitwarden’s premium tier??
Dropbox and Google are not “competitors” to Bitwarden — you are comparing apples and oranges by bringing those up.
This amount of storage is included only in Keeper’s Family Plan, which has a subscription fee of $85 USD/year. Bitwarden’s Family Plan comes with up to 7GB storage included in the $40 USD/year price, of which 1GB is for shared files; you can upgrade this to 10GB storage for shared files (plus 1GB for each family member’s individual vault) for a subscription fee of $76 USD/year, which is more than 10% cheaper than the deal offered by Keeper.
And as already noted by @Nail1684 above, if you want 10GB of storage for an individual account, Keeper would charge you $52.44 USD/year, compared to Bitwarden’s $46 USD/year, which is again more than 10% cheaper than Keeper.
Before concluding the statements, would be better to cross check about the competitors. Pls refer the attached image of keeper.
But I am not relating to passwords where its just texts will not take GBs of data. As the feature is provided for files storage, I have shared my request. But you are fine if its doubled i.e, 2GB
Yes. I did. Those screenshots show the storage capacity only - without the password manager functionalities (= those $1.04 would be only for that storage functionality, and don’t include password management functionalities). [–> PS/Edit: Correction from @grb: Keeper doesn’t offer this as a separate package, but it’s only an “add-on” to a password manager package.]
If you compare that to e.g. Bitwarden premium, which includes password management (or rather is the main functionality), you are indeed comparing apples and oranges here.
Ok, not sure which is orange or apple here, from my first chat I am pointing to storage rather than pwd management. My request was to increase capacity. If they want to follow competitors, so be it just provide storage as separate and provide/charge better than them and become just apple or orange
@sathish PS: And then, as @grb calculated, Bitwarden would (even for an individual “premium” account) be cheaper than Keeper:
For password management + 10 GB storage (what should be compared, as it’s finally comparing “apples with apples” 
):
-
Keeper: $52.48 per year ($39.99 for password management + $12.49 for 10 GB storage)
-
Bitwarden premium: $46 per year ($10 for the premium account (incl. 1GB) + $36 for 9GB of additional storage [–> $4 for 1GB each])
→ for the same or comparable features, Bitwarden already is “cheaper”
Do you even realize, that Bitwarden doesn’t offer the desired cloud storage separately from the “password manager” (like the $12.49 offer from Keeper seemingly is [–> PS/Edit: Correction from @grb: Keeper doesn’t offer this as a separate package, but it’s only an “add-on” to a password manager package.])?
yes, so that requesting for as separate feature in my above chat
The title (Increase the storage for paid subscription) suggests something else.
Bitwarden already outcompetes comparable password managers on price, as demonstrated in the calculations above, summarized here:
Annual Cost of Password Manager with 10GB Secure File Storage:
| Plan | Keeper Price | Bitwarden Price | Lowest Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Individual | $52.48 | $46.00 | Bitwarden |
| Family | $84.99 | $76.00 | Bitwarden |
Maybe you are on the wrong forum? Bitwarden Password Manager is a password manager product, not a file storage service. Asking Bitwarden to provide a file storage service is like asking 7-zip to create a word processor — apples and oranges.
