Family plan is too expensive for what it offers
While I would like to have the ability for my wife and I to share a combined account with our own individual logins - it's not worth the extra $80/year, almost doubling the cost for only a limited i...
Is the cost based on storage or users? Seems that the family plan should offer the same total storage as the standard plan.
Otherwise it is more money for less.

It offers the same space and features as the Plus plan, but adds the ability to invite up to 5 additional people to share the account (6 total) and gives them all access to a shared Family Room folder.
To clarify what the Dropbox Family Plan means as of October 13, 2023.
- When purchasing by the year, the Dropbox Family Plan costs $16.99/mo = $203.88/yr.
- Up to 6 separate users have access to a total of 2 TBs of storage. It's not 2 TBs per person, it's 2 TBs total.
- The Dropbox Family Plan charges a $7/mo "premium" to allow 5 additional users to access 2 TBs of storage, which is the same amount of storage offered for a single user on the Dropbox Plus* plan.
*The Dropbox "Plus" plan offers 2 TBs of storage for $9.99/mo = $119.88/yr with access only for a single person.
