Is there a cheaper plan than the Plus plan, that offers more space?
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.

The page shows prices. How to be eligible is not mentioned even on the page. I have been with Dropbox for more than 15 years.

A lot of similar promotions or trials are often specific to a region, so if the plan isn't available to you on the linked page, there's usually no way to become eligible. It either applies to you or it doesn't.
As a potential consumer, I give you feedback.
Your products provide good quality.I hope your company can offer 2-3 entry-level products with more favorable prices.
I expect you to provide 500 and 1000G specifications to reduce the product price.
OneDrive Home Edition offers 1TB*6 for approximately US$100(720RMB) in EU and USA and US$70 (498RMB) in China .
OneDrive person Edition 1TB US$55.(1) Consumer affordability and Price comparison
The starting 2TB space is not suitable for some persons, too much useless space.
At present, the price of your entry-level products is high for developing countries or economically sensitive people.
Some persons want 500GB, 1000GB or 250GB space (onedrive entry-level product 1000GB). Can you provide more product solutions with more specifications?For example, the product price is 300GB with 20 US dollars a year (OneDrive person Edition 1TB US$55).
(2) Years of usage and experience
Your trial is only one month long, so it has little promotional value because consumers can use it for too short a time.People need to use it for 2 years before they discover more features and good value.
You can even attach conditions that each person can only buy it for Max period (5 years), and after 5 years, the customer need to upgrade to a higher-level product.
- As explained to me by your agent , When you upgrade to a yearly cycle on the Dropbox website, the pricing is much cost-effective for 12 months to when you upgrade to a monthly cycle for 12 months. For example, the yearly cycle would be CA$155.58 (CA$12.99*12 months) instead of CA$15.99.
That’s not what is understood when you accept the offer which mentions 2 months free ! I feel that’s not fair to advertise as such and it is misleading information just to attract customers! I request to get those two months free including the new rate ! So simple … - This plan is not available.
I would also like Dropbox to give an option of 50 Gb with sync on 4-5 devices. The 2 tb plan is too much of a jump and way too expensive for an individual. I can understand Dropbox for education, for business, but for region with respect I do not see any reason why some people will have access to space while others are not. Thanks
- I would suggest a new plan option
Something in the range of 10gb or something, or a dynamic plan that increases as the storage space you use increases
I would be willing to pay a couple bucks a month, but, for personal use, can’t justify $15-$30 a month 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.
