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.
I have been using my 2gb dropbox for almost 10 years as it has a nice client, that works on Linux. As it is so small its a glorified pdf syncing app.But I am also paying for 200gb "very well known company name"-drive for my and my family's data backups and actual work because it has reasonable pricing. But sadly, it does not support Linux out of the box.So which will happen first, reasonable pricing here or Linux client there?Time is ticking.
I too have never needed more than 200 GB. I've been paying for the upgrade for the last few years because I LOVE dropbox (I'm familiar with the interface, like the features, and it works with every app), it was convenient because I already had a lot of things on it, and I justified it for that long because I use it for important things that I figured were worth the money. However, with the price hike, and nothing of value having been added for me, I decided that it was really time for me to move to a competitor. I'm glad Dropbox is no longer entirely dismissing the potential for a cheaper subscription like they did before. Over time, more of us will move to competitors and get used to them and Dropbox will lose a lot of customers. I personally would still move back if there was a cheaper option (I would pay $60 per year), but at these prices, it's not worth it for me.
$10 is expensive then other serviece. dont you?
I also came for the same reason. Sadly, 10 bucks a month is too high.. every service nowadays thinks they are worth 120 euros a year.
Having the lowest plan being 5 times more expensive than Google Drive is sad. I do believe Dropbox is a great product, but I think they should really accomodate the non-power users. I'd happily throw a couple of bucks their way for their great product. But just not 10 euros per month for the rest of my life.
Just adding to the many, many people here that would like to see Dropbox offer more reasonable consumer prices.
Only $12/month is really, really expensive, and the new family plan at $17 (more than Netflix/Spotify/GSuite/365/etc) is just insane.
Dropbox is the best file sharing/folder option, but it's priced like a BMW and the features compared to other things are really not competitive. Ten years ago I used Dropbox the exact same way I do today, and that's great, but that also means nothing useful to me has been added while the price continues to increase.
Dropbox got great by focusing on consumers. A little bit of a return to that would be so nice to see.
Primero que todo, amo dropbox es un gran servicio y me ha ayudado en muchas muchas ocaciones, pero siempre he tenido un problema ya que soy independiente, solo trabajo yo por lo que no puedo comprar el dropbox para empresa 1. soy solo yo no tengo equipo. 2 el precio del dolar es muy alto en colombia por lo que esto repercutiria en el costo de mi trabajo, para los que llevamos mucho tiempo en dropbox hemos notado los cambios positivos, PERO, tambien deben tomar en cuenta las pequeñas empresas y las personas que necesitamos muchas funcionalidades de una empresa pero no contamos con el personal para comprar dos o tres cuentas.
Es algo que he escrito varias veces y ojala algún día lo tomen en cuenta, si el equipo de programadores quiere hacer algun tipo de test conmigo sería fantastico, como por ejemplo poder controlar las fechas de caducidad de un archivo a la hora de enviarlo con trasnfer, lo digo por que de igual manera estamos pagando una mensualidad y valdría la pena tener todo
I adhere to the post edit dude
being deep in the seventh decade of my life and having stopped working actively, DB is now for personal use only, until today the company paid.For old people like me, $ 120 a year is too much. for a fee $ 30 a year I don't even think twice. DB far superior to google drive and MS oneDrive.no doubt ! DB password program is mediocre and roboform for instance better .
think about it
Hello, I would like to know why the dropbox has only 2 GB of storage? And couldn't you put ads on download pages or some ad notification that appears in the corner to give you more storage for free?Or also lower the prices of the plans because converting dollar to real (BRL) is expensive, so only 10 dollars already 50 reais. So it's good to think about it.
at £7.99 x12 = £95.88 you can buy a pretty good 2 TB hard drive for that.. Just an opinion like.. as i guess 2 tb is for the home user and 2 TB is a lot £5 would be a better price
I could only find about possible discounts on business accounts for nonprofit businesses. Why not a senior, disability, low income plan for Dropbox+? Maybe offer with partnership with AARP, AMAC, AAA or some other organization. I am all of the above and I’m sure there are many others and would greatly increase your subscriber base for individuals that can’t afford the $11.99/month or yearly rate.
It's time for Dropbox to consider increasing the storage capacity that comes with the plans. The $12/mo "Dropbox Plus" plan that I've been paying for 2TB of storage was a good deal several years ago, but hasn't kept up with evolution. I realize that Dropbox has added many great features, which has made it a household brand name. But technology is evolving where storage is getting cheaper, while file sizes are getting bigger. Other companies like Apple charge $10 for 2TB, MS One Drive is $5.83/mo to add 1TB to the free 1TB that comes with MS Office, and $10 for up to 5TB per user on their Business Plan. CrashPlan is $10 for UNLIMITED storage and has similar features like file history retention. This issue has come up for me because I have evolving requirements that's causing me to make new decisions, so I suspect that numerous others are starting to wrestle with the same. I'd prefer to stay with Dropbox because of how well it works and the features it provides that makes it easy to work with others. But giving you (Dropbox) a heads up that you might start making it easier for competitors to make switching easier if you don't address getting ahead of this and either bumping up the storage, or lowering the price. Thanks!
hello. paid plan has a lot of free space. so... didn't you think to start your own mail service? e.g. 50 gb for 2Tb plan is like small change. gmail, outlook etc are getting worse from year to year, dropbox always makes perfect products and personally for me dropbox has the highest level of trust.
thanks!
why would I pay $184 a year for 2TB when
I can buy a 2TB external drive for less than $100 and share it online with
Teams Viewer for free.
I don't understand why people are paying for this
Hi there @NOUTROK , thank you for your inquiry.
Just to clarify, the Basic plan, is our free plan, and comes with 2 GB of space.
You are referring to our Plus plan, that offers 2 TB of space.
I am afraid that, there is no plan, that offers more space, at a lower price, at the moment.
You can see all our available plans here.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need anything else.
Dropbox can think of a plan starting with lower spaces say 250GB, 500GB, 1TB, etc.
That is suitable for small and medium enterprises.

Dropbox has trialed smaller plans in the past, with little success.
There's likely a post in the Share an Idea section asking for this same thing again. You can add your reply there, or start your own if the idea is already closed.
For some countries this level of price is too expensive. The free option is too small and you need to have more cheaper plans.
Hi, I really want 3tb, but £16.58 is a bad deal, as its over twice what I currently pay for 50% more capacity.
I don't need any other features, other than more storage .
£12/month should be the cost. I think Dropbox is missing out on a lot of revenue with its pricing model.Thanks
I think 2TB of storage space is quite a lot for an individual. If a product with reduced storage space and fee is released, it will receive a very positive response.
Good morning.
With regards to the Drop Box purchase options, if I am correct, there is the 2GB and then the purchase options start at 2000GB, which is a little pricy.
There should be a purchase option too of 1000GB. Looking into this option, will also be a good thing, I think. It's just a suggestion 🙂
Dropbox plan 5GB single user
It is ridiculous that there is not a dropbox plan for people that work alone with 5GB!
No I need to buy 3 subscriptions but I work alone! Im not paying that money and not buying that plan and now try to find another solution with another company to store my data
I have 4TB now and would just need 1TB more
so it doesn't work
No dropbox has send me an email to add a top up of 1TB but this whole link doesn't work and get directed to buying the 5TB for a min of 3 users!
what is this for strange way of getting money out of people
Hi there,
Im sure this has been raised but it would be great to have another plan option for smaller plans. This would especially be useful for people who want to use the rekordbox cloud storage which requires you to have a dropbox account. The plus plan is too expensive if it is just being used for rekordbox cloud storage and 2tb is far more than needed. I have 2000 songs which equates to 32gb. I would love to have a 100gb plan for max $20 - $50aud a year.
I love Dropbox's block-level synchronization, but I hate the drastic change from 2GB (free) to 2TB (plus).
I think more people would purchase a lower option than the 2TB. I just want 100GB - 250GB without having to pay 120$ a year.
