Selecting the best plan upgrade for a small business

I have been down this road before and while I have been using Dropbox for about 15 or more years,  am still confused by the newer offerings for project folder access via teams, etc. We are also very ...

It is possible to add members to the team account (by using paid licences) or even share folders with external collaborators if or when needed wds_sea 

Let us know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks Walter - can you answer specifically if I can have yearly paid team members PLUS start/stop occasional monthly members, paying on a month by month basis?

    Hi from me as well, wds_sea!

    The Dropbox Plus plan is an individual plan, so you can't purchase licenses and subsequently add users on that account.

    With the Dropbox Plus plan, you can have folders that you share with different Dropbox users, who you can add or remove and collaborate that way.

    With a Dropbox team plan on the other hand, you can invite users to join the team itself with their account.

    I hope this helps!

      Hannah -

      I’m sorry but I think this is the 3rd time I am asking….With the teams plan, we can have a combination of yearly and monthly team members? And we can start stop team members if using monthly payments? 

      thank you

        Hi wds_sea, on a Dropbox team plan, it isn't possible to have a mixture of monthly and annual licenses. Either the entire team is paid on a monthly basis, or on an annual basis. 

        If you are on a monthly plan, then you can add a license for a month, and then remove the member to then remove the license for that month.
