Why is there no 2$ offer for private use like Microsoft OneDrive oder Google Drive have to offer?
I'm currently a little under the storage limit for free users (2 GB), however I won't need hundreds of GB either. I would probably max out my storage needs at 5 GB potentially and I most likely would pay 2$ a month for a small chunk, let's say 100 GB of storage. Why do your offers only start at 10$ and 2 TB. That is too much in terms of storage and prices. I'm sure there are quite a few people that just need some space for documents and not an entire lifetime of photo albums, which your offer implies?

Hi Boximusmaximus,
Every service has their pros and cons. As you note, a Dropbox cons is the free storage strong storage limit (and missing competitive prices for low consumption). And yes, as Mark noted, there are different reasons for that (every company has their marketing strategy - that's the Dropbox' one 🤷). Fortunately there are lot of competitors. Many of them - like GDrive (as you noted), pCloud, Mega, and many more - match and overcome your expectation (~5GB) for no money at all (their free plans). 😉 You may consider looking for and switch to such a service.
Hope this gives direction.

Dropbox have previously said that lower plans lost them money - too many people downgraded basically. Plus, they have also said that they are not pricing on storage but services offered.
Unfortunately you are never ever likely to see cheaper plans from Dropbox. What they do, regardless of if we agree or not, is working and is profitable.
