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.
offer dynamic dataplan for users which are not willing to subscribe for the actual models, so they can subscribe for lower rates as well. starting at the basic plan.
Hi @meks, thanks for joining the Community!
Could you let me know more about what you're describing, in order for other voters to understand your suggestion?
Are you referring to paying for the amount of data you're storing on your account? If so, how would this be priced in your opinion in terms of billing cycle and cost?
This will help me to assist further!
Yes, I've been really frustrated that Dropbox's least expensive plan is $120 per year. I don't need 2 TB, and I definitely won't spend $120. Meanwhile, Google One offers 200 GB for $30 per year. Now THAT's something interesting, even though I'm not fond of the user experience with GoogleDrive. You can also get significant amounts of data, but fully end-to-end encrypted, with iDrive for much less than $120 per year. Again, I don't love their UI and the feature set is missing a couple fundamental things. But there's just no way I'm paying $120 per year. Dropbox, when are you going to offer a decent plan for common folks...something like Google's 200 GB for $30 per year, and maybe some higher level for $50 or $60 per year (and allowing us to log in to the Dropbox application on more than the ridiculous 3 devices allowed by the free plan)???? C'mon, you're just being jerks at this point.If some people need 2 TB, I admit $120 per year isn't a bad price. But so many of us DON'T need THAT much space, and also can't afford that price. So let's get real here.
If your account is eligible, there is the Basic Extra plan available for purchase.
Says I'm not currently eligible.Now what?
Good afternoon.
I have the basic plan currently. I have enough storage with this plan, however I would like to use with more than 3 devices.
The dropbox plus is out of my budget plus I do not need 2TB of storage.
Is there an option/plan with access to more devices at a more reasonable price?

There isn't another plan, but you could subscribe to Plus for a month, add your other devices and then downgrade back to Basic. As long as you don't disconnect them, they will continue to sync.
Same.. I have used dropbox for 10 years, and right now I am looking to onedrive and google as I need more space.I need 100gb... not 2tb! And the 2tb isn't even shareable, for that you need the 2tb family pack, over 200Euro / year.. I would gladly pay 2$ for 100gb or 5$ for 500gb package instead of going to other services.Right Now I'm paing both Google and Microsoft to test them out. Still cheaper x)
Agree 100%. I am managing with 200 GB on Google as I have lots of images and videos besides documents.
I am tired of Dropbox's frequent reminders and aggressive sales pitch for 2/5 TB. My request for 500 GB seems to be falling on deaf ears.
If they want to stick to their 2/5TB upgrade offers then I will delete all my stuff and unsubscribe at the earliest.
What is also most annoying is that they think their Chatbot can handle all the queries a customer may have. They just don't have a human interface to respond to customer queries. I wish I could ask their Chatbot to provide me the storage space and I pay the Chatbot instead of Dropbox. 😡
Ok one other question. If I upgrade to plus and then downgrade to basic do I keep my additional earned storage. I have 10GB now and do not want to lose it.
Thanks
Hey @rperry337!
If you downgrade your account, you won't lose the extra space you've acquired through referrals, but your current space per referral is 1G, whereas with Dropbox Basic you get 500MB per referral.
See more info about this here.
I hope this helps.

Just to clarify that a bit for you, @rperry337, when you upgrade to a paid account your referral bonus doubles from 500MB each to 1GB each. If you later downgrade back to the Basic plan, your referrals will again be halved back to 500MB each.
Thank you for the reply. I am still not sure I understand. If I upgrade from my basic plan to the plus and decide it is not for me. When I downgrade do I still keep the 10 GB of data my basic plan that I have now.

Yes.
What we're describing is that when you upgrade, the bonus space you've earned from referrals will also double. When you downgrade at a later date, that bonus space will revert back to what it was before the upgrade.
Gotcha sorry that was the part I was not understanding.
We are going to pay for a good service, but here even the cheapest plan is too expensive.
