Reached my 3tb limit. Now I have to pay 3x the price for any extra space. Can we please give more tiers for personal? We don’t all have that kind of $$$
Hi Dropbox, Having been a good customer for several years, I've now reach 80 and my pension with every thing else going up, wouldn't stretch to a new annual contract. I spoke with a very nice man at Dropbox, who explained they didn't have a facility for low use old people, so I try and keep my usage under 2gb.
Its a great pity as I felt it would be an excellent publicity idea to offer a lower rate to old people, as we seem to be forgotten once we no long have a working income to pay for these costly essentials. With Dropbox having a good reputation, I felt it would be the first company of it's type, to show/offer care and support to those who are no longer high flyers, a thoughtful consideration rarely shown these days. Best regards John Wood
The smallest paid Dropbox plan is $120/year for 2,000 GB (2 TB).
Apple iCloud+ costs $12/year for 50 GB.
Google One charges $30/yr for 300 GB.
Dropbox would have my business (and I suspect many others) if you offered a budget plan in this range—i.e. no more than $30/year — ideally under $15. I just can’t be adding subscriptions for over $100/year when I don’t need anywhere near 2 TB, but the Basic (free) plan’s 2 GB is much too small.
I think there needs to be another option between the free option and Dropbox Plus. Jumping from 2GB to 2,000 GB is ridiculous. I only use 6% of Dropbox plus, but it's still more storage than the free one so I've been having to use Dropbox plus. I'm considering just switching everything over to OneDrive.
I believe Dropbox is missing out on a ton of residual income from very small businesses like mine. The only option for small businesses like mine to upgrade from the 2 GB basic plan to have more space is the 2000 GB plan, which costs $119.88 a year. Alot for a small business like mine with 1 employee. It took me just over 10 years to fill up the 2 GB of space in the basic plan. So unless I plan on living and working to be 10,000 years old, there is no way I'd ever come close to using 2000 GB of storage space. So for a very small business like mine, and there are tons of them in the U.S., it's very hard to pay $120 a year and justify that. Most small businesses will find another storage option or just delete older files to stay under the 2 GB basic plan. What I'm suggesting is Dropbox to offer a 10 or 20 GB option to small businesses with 3 or less employees for $20 a year. To me, it's a no brainer, extra residual income for Dropbox and a paid plan with decent storage space for small companies. And even if Dropbox doesn't want to advertise this plan because they might not win those larger plan deals to small companies that are going to pay that $120 a year, just only offer it as a back door special to small companies that ask on an online chat, phone call, or email, etc. Please let me know your thoughts on this. But $120 a year for me is not doable for a large plan I'll never use. With businesses, it's not a cookie cutter 1 size fits all. All businesses and businesses needs are different. Thank you.
