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..

It is disgusting and shameful that Dropbox is ignoring what their customers really want. First post that started this conversation and request for smaller packages was back 5 years ago on 12-12-2014 and here we are 508 comments later still asking and waiting. How many customers has Dropbox lost and how much money are other cloud services receiving because they are offering smaller packages. I know I am paying pCloud for their service. Is it ideal? No, but I can afford their 500GB package BUT, I would prefer the services of Dropbox and would switch back instantly if you offered a smaller package.

I am a long time user of dropbox, but I have ever only used the free option. I am not interested in paying $10/€10 per month for at service delivering 10-25x the amount of space I would ever need. In short: I am an example of a user who wants to buy a product, but can't find a good fit.

I dont understand why not allow customers to have some options. A blight on an otherwise great product.

Well I know one customer Dropbox had lost forever, me. At this point even if they offered smaller plans I wouldn't pay. Google and Apple have been taking my money long enough that at this point it would be more of a hassle to switch. I only stay subscribed too this thread to see what will happen first. If they'll offer reasonable accounts at reasonable prices or go out of business after alienating the customers they gained from giving away normal amounts of space for free to owners of Samsung and HTC devices a few years ago. 

Between iCloud, Google Drive, and OneDrive I'm sure there aren't many new companies willing to go through the extra effort of using Dropbox and there certainly aren't very many individuals signing up to get overcharged for too much space workout the company they work for/with twisting thier arm.

Good job Dropbox you'll be lucky to be as successful as Myspace in a few years.

@otherguy, as I've written here, I've dropped the Dropbox and moved to pCloud.
The plan you are looking for - they have it! It's called pCloud Family, 5 users total, no device limit (!), no Geo limits (so you can use it not just in your household, but with friends, small team etc), client-side encryption (so all your family stuff is safe!!!)... And the best part - it's offered with one-time payment, for a lifetime! Check it here : [external link removed by moderation as per the Community Guidelines.]

i'm a dropbox user and fan since 2011 and i just love it. it actually changed my life for the better in so many ways. i'm crazy about it! but in december it would be even crazier for me to stay a dropbox client.

on dec 2019 the plus plan is changing from 1TB to 2TB. but it can be 10TB or 100TB, it doesn't matter - i still have no more than 100GB of data. it pushes me toward moving to the competitors, but i really doesn't want to. i love my dropbox, i'm used to it and it does everything i need.

i know that dropbox will never offer a plan of less than 1TB, this was made clear since 2014.

another option that would make me a happy dropbox user would be if i could share some space with my family.

i know i can setup my account on their computers, but i don't want them to see my personal files... but i would trade 1TB from my account for just 10GB of space for each of my spouses (they have the basic plan). this way dropbox doesn't loose money on cheap accounts, i keep my paid account, my spouses keep they dropbox instead of moving to competitors, and everyone is happy!

I saw this suggestion already but it was 5 years old and still nothing changed. I am a huge fan of dropbox but am not a fan of their options/ pricing. I am sad to say that I am going to start paying for GoogleDrive because they offer smaller options that 2TB. For a normal person, we need smaller increments of space. 50GB to 100GB to 200GB for a decent price would be great. Google is winning at $1.99/100GB. That's plenty of space. Please consider the small people when making changes to your system.

Why paid account options in Dropbox are sooo limited? Either you take 2 GB of free space and be happy with that OR you buy 2 TB of unnecesary space for 10 USD a month?

Why Dropbox never bothered to design an option of a 10 / 25 / 50 / 100 GB paid account for student / home users and for pro users for NBU (Next Billion User) countries?

The current options look perfect when you design a product keeping a US customer profile in mind.

They did lots of other ones - all trialled and found they were not comercially viable (everybody on larger plans downgraded basically). 

Dropbox themselves now say they are so much more than space now (hence its so high) its about everything else you get. If you are only looking at the space requirements there are plenty of other providers out there to try.
