Where has the Dropbox Essentials plan gone?

Hi ... I've notice that the Dropbox Essentials plan has now disappeared (UK based) and the Professional account has now gained the couple of the Essentials extras.... E signatures etc

I'm a Pro account holder and was going migrate over to the Essentials plan but can't as it doesn't exist - for UK... Confused !

Can Dropbox support offer some clarity .... ??  many thanks

    Hi Vtech​,

    I just wanted to pop in and clear things up. The Essentials Plan is no longer available to new users as of March 31st of this year.

    So you will not to upgrade to Essentials going forward unfortunately.

    Hi, Vtech 

    Our Professional Plan is technically just the same with the Essentials Plan. However , if you really want to find out if it is still available on your end, kindly click this link while logged in to your Dropbox account : http://www.dropbox.com/buy/essentials 

     

    Thanks

    No it isnt. At a very quick look you've removed the signature options which, for me, was the huge sell of Essentials over Professional.

    Mark​ Not sure what you had in Essentials .... This is what I now have in Professional 

    Looks as if the two nearly identical products have been merged back to Professional ..

    With Essentials you got unlimited signatures. I think its 3 a month now in Professional.

    Thanks for the confirmation - on a positive note the Dropbox plans now make sense again.
