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.

If your account is eligible, there is the Basic Extra plan available for purchase.

Says I'm not currently eligible.
Now what? - rperry3371 year agoExplorer | Level 4
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.
- Ffahrenheit1 year agoExplorer | Level 4I do not need 2TB of cloud memory . eleven dollars per Month is too expensive . why don't you offer to 100GB for two bucks a month
- RAVIGOPAL1 year agoHelpful | Level 5I am a free member as of now. I keep receiving your upgrade plans starting with 2 TB. That is far beyond my lifetime requirement. I wonder why you don't introduce affordable plans for 500 GB and 1 TB. Individuals and SMEs require storage less than 1 TB. Please consider customer friendly packs.
Else I am happy with Google plans that allow me to scale up steadily.

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) - RAVIGOPAL1 year agoHelpful | Level 5
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.
