Does the Tech Soup plan work with Dropbox Basic?
We are a non-profit arts organisation that has maxed out our basic plan storage. We've tried downloading files and it still says we are maxed out. We want to know if buying the Tech Soup Drop Box plan will get us more storage space on our Basic plan.
The Tech Soup plans give you access to Business plans at a discounted rate. This means you get have to buy a minimum of 3 licences, albeit it at a discount.
Therefore, it may be cheaper to just pay for a single licence upgrade instead.
Just one thing to note, however, is that each person needs their own licence/log on (i.e. you shouldnt be sharing log ons across multiple people). Doing so is a breach of T&C's and a huge security risk. Dropbox have previously closed accounts and deleted all data when discovered. The security risk is that anybody with the password technically 'owns' the account and so could change the email/password on it to a different one to lock everybody out - and if they did you have no come back. SO, with that said the Tech Soup deals may be better choices if you need multiple logons :)
