I agree, right now I am on Google 2TB but only using around 200GB - they no longer do the 100 or 200GB offerind g - so I am looking around again. Alos considering just baacking up locally and using the free service for my photos and videos.
I have 3TB external HDD and 1TB on my S1o+ phone storage - for me cloud storage is acually becoming redundant anyway
Given the 3-device limit, together with the fact that they are still not offering anything less than 1 TB, I am leaving Dropbox today in favor of Google One, which gives 100 GB (more than double of what I actually need) for 17.74 € a year.
Sadly true. And people who feel so won't necessarily come here to post.
I loved Dropbox but went for a Google Drive upgrade, and will be moving from its 100GB tier to 200GB soon.
Every time I had to make such decision, I would go back to the Payment/Plans page to check the options -- it has never changed, it's at 10 USD for too much of space that I won't need.
Dropbox is my preference, it's really a good product. I really hope they can grow with the users.
Same here. I cant believe that this is not available yet. I been with dropbox for more than 9 years but with kids and multiple computers I need this without them having access to certain precious data.
Hey BradJohnson, what service did you go with instead of Dropbox? I'm looking to leave Dropbox for the same reason. Ridiculous my wife and I can't share an account.
I know the main arguments why Dropbox is not introducing competetive pricing..:
1) they think they will loose revenue by making people switch to lower plans
2) They cannot introduce lower pricing because their only revenue is from cloud storage, while the competition has other source of income
However, this is really not sustainable for the long term. Fear of loosing cannot be the base of a good business model. If the competition offers better pricing for a similar service, then many of your paying customers will switch anyway at some point.. Just let this thought sink in.
I was waiting for 2-3 years for Dropbox to introduce a friendly pricing model, so I can finally become a paying customer. Not only they have not introduced anything, they even restricted free device use to three. I now became so dissillusioned with Dropbox that I decided to stop "waiting" and I became a paying customer with a competition.
And this is my question:
The competition I signed up to (pCloud) does not have any other revenue, they also only do cloud storage. Yet, somehow, by some magic, they can offer a mid-tier plan, which even includes selective sync (Dropbox calls it smart sync, which is not even part of your first paid plan...(!!) ). So my point is, how come pCloud can afford all this but not Dropbox? Is it really worth loosing your user base? Weird.
I hope you will re-read the bold points above, and it will make the management think.
Thank you!
ps.: I genuinly wanted to become a paying customer for years
