The only reason I haven't got a paid Dropbox subscription is that they don't have smaller cheaper options. The only reason I do have an iCloud subscription is because they do. Why can't Dropbox do this?
Hey @polydigm. Thanks for posting on our forum today. I’ve made sure to pass your feedback along to our team. If there’s anything else you’d like to share with us though, feel free to let me know. Have a great weekend ahead!
Apple and other cloud service providers such as Google and Microsoft have other revenue streams that they use to subsidize their cloud offerings. They use their cloud services as either an incentives for other products or as a low cost way to get people into their eco systems so they buy other products. Apple has their hardware business, Microsoft their software business, and Google their ad revenue. All of that offsets the costs of their cloud storage systems. Dropbox has… Dropbox.
That's not to say that Dropbox doesn't have smaller plans. They have trialed them many, many times in the past (and not always to success). Often these smaller plans are limited to specific regions or other eligibility terms. For instance, there's a 50GB Basic Extra plan that's often comes available. If the plan is still available and you meet eligibility, it would be available to you at this link.
There are no plans below 2TB on that link. That is why I posted the OP.
Then either the smaller plan is no longer available, or you don't meet the eligibility requirements for it.
