Dropbox Basic, Plus and Professional accounts are intended for a single user, allowing them to sync multiple devices. While it's possible for more than one person to share an individual account, it's a security risk to do so. Anyone with access to the account can take it over for themselves.

Hi everyone,

 

I am just new to DropBox and Replay and I have a query.

 

Say, I upgrade to DropBox plus plan for $12/month which also has Replay tool as add-on. With this I should be getting 2 TB of storage. Now if create a new project in Replay and then ask say 5 of my other team members to also create free accounts on DropBox - will I be able to share my 2 TB storage with them - allowing them basically to have unlimited number of uploads as long as everyone's upload total is within 2 TB? (currently, with everyone including me being on free plan - there is this message showing only 4 file uploads are available in Replay) OR even if I have 2 TB plan, my team members  also need to pay $12/month individually if they want to upload more than 2 GB (which they are allowed as part of free tier)?

 

Thanks for your response and support in advance.

 

Regards,

V

Hey @virajamipara, thanks for taking the time to post here.

 

When it comes to individual accounts, only the account holder can access the space provided.

 

If you were to share folders with your team and give them edit permissions, so they can add/edit/delete files, they'd need enough space to add the folders to their account.

 

So, as a workaround, you could send them 'can view' links, to access the folders and then file requests to upload files to your account.

 

I hope this helps!
