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

[Michel L.]

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..

How about 200 GB for $39 a year.? The problem with $49 is that it doesn't actually beat Google's offer. There's a psychological advantage to a $39 price point as well.

Once a product saturates its niche in the market, as Dropbox has done, the only way to increase market share is to out strategize the other players. A $39 package wouldn't bother people who need only 30 or 50G, and it would draw millions of customers away from Google, IDrive and other cloud systems.

The idea is not to beat the Google proposal by price, but to propose something approximately equal.

Such proposal will beat Google's one because of better sync quality of Dropbox.

Also the proposed price $49 will keep more existing users to remain with their 1Tb account.

At the same time it will allow to attract more users that want to get big Dropbox disc space but not willing to pay $99 (like author of initial post and me).

Agree

Hi,

why can't you offer a smaller package than 9 Euro for 1 TB? I dont need 1 TB, and 9 Euro is -because of this- too expensive. But I need more than the Basic package.

I would have been already for 1-2 years a user of a paid package, if you would offer one for like 5 Euro. But like this I rather use additional clouds from Amazon and Microsoft.

Is this really in your intrest to lose customers by offering unattraktive packages and chase them to your opponents?

I am dissapointed from this unporfessional behavior.

I'm in full agreement with many opinions voiced here. I have paid for Dropbox Pro in the past but could not justify the high price. Dropbox is without a doubt the best cloud storage service around with its flawless syncing. I get 1 TB free on OneDrive through my university account and I also have 200GB free for two years on my personal OneDrive for having bought a Seagate Drive. But OneDrive is constantly having sync errors and file incompatabilities and is a chore to deal with. I tried paying for Google Drive but that was also costly at $49 per annum for 100 GB.  I pay for 200 GB of iCloud just to backup photos, and I was one of the few that paid for MobileMe its predecessor back in 2008.,. but let's face it, syncing is not Apple's stregth. Amazon Drive is the cheapest and I'll probably buy more storage with them, but I will do so reluctantly only because Dropbox does not have any plans that fit my needs. Finally,. I pay for Zotero storage to sync my PDF articles (I am a PhD student) online. Point I am trying to make is that I've paid for cloud storage and yncing long before many people did, and do so now, and I would be very happy to pay a reasonable price for Dropbox Pro--because it is far and away the simplest and best syncing cloud storage service. But after paying $99 for one year, I could not justify the cost when it came time to renew again. I regretted cancelling it and came back brieflty and tried paying month-to-month but still could not justify the price for a 1TB that is actually more storage than I need.  The sweet spot range of what I would need would be a price point at about $40-50 per annum for circa 500GB of cloud storage--billed yearly or via  small monthly charge similar to icloud (I pay $2.99 per month for that 200GB)--$4.99 per month would be about the price that I could comfortably live with. But I find it completly baffling that Dropbox does not have such a plan that would fit my needs, especially as sI am omeone who would be very happy to pay for a quality service despite having ovabout 1.3 TB of free cloud storage elsewhere with Dropbox's competitors. I don't want free if it aint great, and Dropbox is great, but just a little too expensive as it is--with no student discounts.. You guys should really figure out a way to appeal to people like me who are happy to pay but not as much as currently priced.

Thats the issue though isnt it @merenptah - you want the service because its great, but wont pay the fees that make it great. It is the same as anything. You want the good quality and service you have to pay for it. Think of cars. You want cheap and cheerful to get you from A to B you go for a cheap and cheerful brand (in the UK here it would be something like Kia or Dachia). You want better quality and better after sales service if something goes wrong you pay a higher price (Audi, BMW, Mercedes etc.), or if you want the all singing all dancing service with bells and whistles you go totally top of the range with Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini or Jaguar). All do that same thing but cost wildly different prices. 

It is exactly the same here. As much as I'd love to be able to get the above cars for the price of a Kia it isnt happening. 

Dropbox have repeatedly said that they will not lower prices as too many people downgrade. Again I think with the launch of Professional this has been proved.
