Can we have different plans / price points / data combinations / plan sizes?

Hi, I find limited in the choices of subscription plans. Basic/free and Pro/110$

I'd gladly pay something like 25$ a year for 50GB and a 2 users family plan.

Considering iCloud have a 12$ plan for 20 GB and 48$ for 200GB, that seems reasonable..

Hi - I've used dropbox for a long time as my primary machine is a Linux desktop, but since I had an additional (23GB!) space bump for buying a phone a couple of years ago, I really use it now... But - now my promotional 23GB of space expires in a little over 2 weeks so I thought I'd just pay to carry on...Why is there no storage tier below 1TB!? I don't need that much space (or want to pay that much per month!) ... I've had a look at OneDrive & GoogleDrive and they both have cheaper plans for lower storage requirements... I'd love to stay with Dropbox, but the competition just looks like a much better deal for small scale users.... any chance of a cheaper plan for the sub 1TB users? (Surely there are loads of them!)

Cheers,
Rob.

No.

Because they found they lost money on them.

Also remember until recently it was $99 for 100gb.

I want a cheaper subscription than the USD 99.00 i pay for 1 TB, but more space than the free subscription - how to do it?

Hi Hasse!

Right now, the only plans we offer are Dropbox Pro (https://www.dropbox.com/pro) and Dropbox for Business (https://www.dropbox.com/business).

However, here are several ways to increase the quota on your Dropbox:

  1. Refer your friends, family, and coworkers:
    https://www.dropbox.com/referrals

  2. Complete the "Getting Started" guide:
    https://www.dropbox.com/gs

  3. Earn up to 3 GB using the automatic Camera Upload feature in Carousel:
    https://www.carousel.com/help/4440

  4. Share the love on social media:
    https://www.dropbox.com/free

  5. Download Mailbox and sign in with your Dropbox account:
    https://www.dropbox.com/getspace

I hope this helps! 🙂

As far as I can see I have the choice of 2gb for free or 1TB for £7.99 a month. The former is insufficient and the latter far beyond my needs.......seems I will have to make use of an alternative service.

Bye then.

Smaller accounts lost Dropbox money when they tried them, so they don't offer smaller accounts.

You can "earn" more space in the free account by referring your friends (...) and get 500MB for each one that installs DB.

pointing at : https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions/201300539-100Gb-month-

It's a bad Idea don't think at small feed.
You say you lost money, I think you lost more money losing the users. I'm one of the user that now must buy the upgrade.
What will be done? I don't need 1TB, I'm not a company, or businness man, I have my files and photo as backup and I don't need more then 50GB. I'm interest about the monthly feed (better in this case should be the annual/s feed one shot) but only for 50/100GB 20 Bucks year it's ok 100 Buck, for a space I will not use, it's a BAD investment.

So Sorry, as Gyula G. say, G+ drive will be more intersting becouse think at the people that are behind the companies, that could use the DBox only becouse a IT Cons. or a Manager, that use is privatly, has proposed it.
So Mark Mc. I will think a little more before delete the small plan from you to do list.

You say you lost money, I think you lost more money losing the users.

The evidence from the trials says otherwise.

Dropbox doesn't have to cater for everyone, its not an a la carte service. You either find the offering suitable, or you do not. If you do not, Dropbox doesn't have to cater for you just because you think they should.

....You can always use another service if you want more space. Nobody is forcing you to use Dropbox.....
