my question is:
Is there any plan that is even cheaper than the normal basic plan of 2000 tb? It happens that I want to have more storage space, but the cheapest plan is still quite expensive.
Is there an alternative storage plan, which is cheaper?
Hi @wdshieh, if your account is eligible, you could upgrade to the Dropbox Basic Extra plan, which offers all the existing features on Basic, but with 50 GB of quota.
As of now, it will cost me around $285/year for 4 TB. Sync.com is offering 6 TB for $240. Quite frankly, there are not enough features or functionality to qualify the $285 pricing for me. Why pay more for less? Please be more competitive with pricing.
It seems to me an uncompetitive price.
I have been given a Google Workspace company account without having to have multiple users on Google. They have offered me the unlimited account in gigabytes for one user.
I was looking for more storage and I thought about using Dropbox because I like the folder system but at 20 euros for 3 or 4 TB it seems excessively expensive for the price of the competition.
The rate that Google has charged me for 2 tb is 10.40 euros with IGIC included tax paid in the Canary Islands, Spain.
And they offer me Google Workspace Enterprice Standart for one user for 22.20 euros including tax. This includes unlimited storage.
I have mail with them, but if they offer me something reasonable, I'm willing to use Dropbox.
Dropbox wont alter prices I'm afraid - the price you see on the website is the price you pay. Dropbox have repeatedly said it is not the quota you are paying for but more the service and features.
I want to express my deep disappointment with Dropbox. While I acknowledge that services and features come at a cost, Dropbox's offering falls short in comparison to companies like Google.
There is no denying that Dropbox's hosting system works remarkably well, even better than Google's, and that initially piqued my interest in using their services and promoting them to my clients.
However, upon careful examination of the prices, it becomes evident that they are charging an exorbitant amount. 20 euros for 3 TB is almost a robbery when compared to the available alternatives in the market.
For instance, Google Workspace for businesses offers a 2 TB account for a single user for just 10.40 euros, taxes included, in the Canary Islands, Spain. Furthermore, it includes highly attractive features such as the market's best email manager, video calls with up to 150 participants, and customized Google Forms for businesses. To top it off, I have been offered Google Workspace Enterprise Standard for a single user at 22.20 euros per month, with unlimited storage.
I understand that each company has its own pricing model, but I can't help but feel frustrated by the lack of balance between the value offered by Dropbox and the associated cost. Despite sharing my concerns with their team, I have only received evasive responses and excuses, which further leaves me unsatisfied.
Unfortunately, this experience has left a negative impression not only of the company itself but also of the individuals behind it. It seems that there is a lack of genuine interest in acquiring new customers, and that is truly disappointing. I was genuinely excited about working with Dropbox at a reasonable price, but now I find myself seriously reconsidering that decision.
I appreciate the time taken to listen to my concerns, but I can't help but think that Dropbox is missing the opportunity to attract numerous potential customers with this uncompetitive pricing strategy. I sincerely hope that they reconsider their approach and offer more appealing and accessible options that better align with the needs and expectations of users.
As the subject says, I wish Dropbox would offer a cheaper plan for less storage.
I've been managing alright on a few gigabytes of storage for many years. I just don't need 2TB of cloud storage.
I really like Dropbox and wouldn't mind paying monthly for it if I didn't feel like I would be mainly paying for a bunch of storage to just sit empty.
I would also be ok with a higher price per gigabyte if it meant a lower monthly cost e.g. 4€ for 250GB.
I want a cheaper upgrade subscription option. Maybe a $1 option for 25gb-100gb per month like Icloud offers for people who aren't going to use a full 2 tb of storage. I only upload music to my dropbox and it only takes up 1gb right now but soon I'm going to max out to 2gb. If I spend $10 a month I'll never use a full tb of storage of just mp3 files and I would be completely overpaying for unused storage. I may never even reach 50gb but I'd rather pay $1 to use maybe 15gb-30gb of storage rather than spend $10 to do the same thing. I love the dropbox service but I'd be wasting money if I did $10 a month.
Really tho? There is no one that needs more than 2gb's of storage, yet doesn't need A HUNDRED TIMES MORE storage? Those are the options? you can have 2 ice cream scoops, or 2000? What an absurd premise. No one willing to pay $5 a month that will never ever get close to 2000gb's? I've been using dropbox for years. I'm at 5gb's used. I guess by the time I start to get full, we'll be in quantum computing and I'll need a gig per photo eh? lol
I've been paying $11.99 a month for 2TB storage for years. I don't need that much storage and finally decided to do something about it. I was shocked to discover that there is not a plan between the free one and the 2TB one. I inquired and was told that there is no plan for creating one in the future which is unfortunate because I really like dropbox but Its time to look for a more cost effective cloud storage service that provides more pricing/plan options.
At the very least, allow me a 1TB option, so I can pay, say $60 a year and be satisfied.
In my view, you are gouging your customers, by forcing us to buy four times the space we actually need.
I'm certain this has been suggested by others, but why such the absurd discrepancy in storage between the free plan (2 GB) and the cheapest paid plan (2,000 GB)? Can't imagine many individual users ever approach 2,000 GB.
If there was an intermediate plan between them (anywhere north of 100 GB), I would happily sign up.
Hi,
This is Achin kansal from India
I am a dropbox plus subscriber with 2 tb defualt plan, I want to suggest that currently I dont need 2tb rather 1 tb or 1.5tb plan would be great for me as of now, can dropbox offer me a customised storage plan and thus reduce the subscription pricing as well.
This would lead to acquiring more new customers with low pricing to get on board...
As a student, 2TB is so much space and is costly. I suggest 100GB plans at least for eligible students with an official email ID with a cost of 15$/ year.
Have another price plan for half the space and half the cost. I can't afford £10 a month for what I use DB for, I'm sure I'm not the only person who has this problem.
I use DB to move files between computers. I don't require 2TB and would use a lot DB more if I had a £5 option for a 500GB - 1TB option. Because the price is too high I tend to use WeTransfer, but I like the DB structure.
I am retired & on fixed income. I have been a longtime user of Dropbox free. The 2gb jump to 2tb is nice, but the $9.95 is not feasible.
I could see $2.95 for 500gb or $5.95 for 1tb.
Good evening! Will there be any plans to offer a plan with 100 or 200 GB of space in the future?
Dear Dropbox,
Please give some affordable space to users who can able be able to pay. If you are giving 2TB for nearly $120 per year if paid once will not be affordable and most of them will not Upgrade. Instead you can give 50-100GB with $10 per year, then lots of people can Use and Upgrade the Dropbox plan. This is my idea to improve your Business.
Why not making also different smaller plans? 10Gb or 100 GB...
Hi! I just wanted to share some concerns and ideas for your software. I am currently using a free account with 2gb storage only. I use this for my online work. The 2gb storage isn't enough for me right now so I need to upgrade to a plan, however, the least I could avail (2TB) is too much of what I need.
If there is any way I could avail a subscription with atleast 300-500gb only and at a lesser price, I would love that.
For personal plans, unless you see other options at www.dropbox.com/account/plan that is the max, yes.
If you want more you need to use business plans BUT that means multiple fees per month
I believe Dropbox would greatly benefit from offering more subscription plans. Having to choose between the free account or 2TB is a total nonsense.
Right now if I had to choose I would choose Google with their 100 or 200GB plan. I believe Dropbox looses a lot of money because of that.I wonder if there is any good reason for not doing it, especially that I see many posts asking for that since 2014 😄 ?
Considero que sus planes son demasiado caros para paises que no estan en un buen momento socioeconomico. Deberian ser mas empaticos ya que tienen clientes de todas partes del mundo y en paises como Argentina, su plataforma les esta dando la espalda. No solo porque se cobra en una moneda que es muy poco accesible aqui, sino por que los valores son altos. Pensaria algún descuento para estas situaciones, o de no querer cambiar la moneda poner un precio mas amigable. Tuve que darme de baja de su plan Professional por que era demasiado caro.Ademas ya que estoy, me parece que su user experience es poco intuitivo. La web es rebuscada y no tiene facil acceso-.Gracias,Azul[removed per Community Guidelines]

I consider that their plans are too expensive for countries that are not in a good socioeconomic moment. They should be more empathetic since they have clients from all over the world and in countries like Argentina, their platform is turning its back on them. Not only because it is charged in a currency that is very little accessible here, but because the values are high. I would think about a discount for these situations, or if you don't want to change the currency, put a more friendly price. I had to unsubscribe from their Professional plan because it was too expensive.Also, while I'm at it, it seems to me that your user experience is not very intuitive. The website is elaborate and does not have easy access.
Costo troppo alto per i piani tariffari potrebbe inserirsi un opzione da 1TB al costo di € 50,00 annui
Saluti Sergio

Cost too high for tariff plans, a 1TB option could be included at a cost of €50.00 per year
Greetings Sergio
My Dropbox space currently is 2GB. I'd like to increase it to 20GB. Why must the next option be 2000GB? I don't need so much.
I agree with this brilliant pensioner. Why can't the default be 10 or 20GB for oldies?
