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..

you know, their excuse is "we've tried it and we lose money"... but i only have a free account with just enough space to upload a few months of photos, then move them over to google drive....

 

right now you are receiving zero funds from me because you will not offer a smaller monthly plan...

 

if you did, you would be picking up your old school free customers and converting them to monthly income....

 

stop being ridiculous and offer a 100g plan.

I was looking at the difference between google one plans and dropbox plus to see why google is cheaper. Just noticed  the difference in storage sizes. Wanted to suggest that dropbox could also try that.

Like @asfds has posted - I would happily pay for a smaller storage plan rather than shell out almost Rs.8700 per year for a 2TB plan.

In fact, I am happy with my 5GB free. All I need is access from multiple devices.  There could be a plan for just allowing multiple devices with the same storage. Dropbox will earn more from multiple small revenue streams rather than just trying to "mould" all its users into its own fixed "plans".

Dropbox, please revise yours plans or risk losing customers altogether.

 

P.S. I would much rather pay Dropbox rather than Google.

Dropbox-- this post has been circulating for a few years now!  It has wide support!  At least address why you are ignoring the considerable interest in offering another tiered plan option.  Users are literally BEGGING you to take their money for a smaller offering and you are ignoring them!  And from the latest business news, your business is NOT DOING WELL.  This is beyond strange.  How about at least responding to this post and offering some explanations....

i would gladly drop google drive if you guys offered a 100g plan and you would have my revenue stream... in fact, i'd gladly pay a year up front so you can factor that in to your financials....

 

just a bad management decision.....

Dear dropbox

 

You have an excellent product.

I understand the need and desire to continue development: word processing, multi TB solutions and online collaborations tools. But this - and other discussions - show that you have a large number of potential customers that just want their small number of files synchronized/backed up.
In a highly competetive marked, you might consider selling us what we ask for AND want to pay for - escpecially since the alternative is not selling anything.

 

I really hope you come around ... before you have lost too many potential customers, too much revenue, and it is generally too late for your company 😞

@Emma 

 

Thanks for the official response.  It's disappointing to say the least and more of the same.  Too bad...

 

Understanding that Dropbox has only offered paid plans of 1TB or more it seems I don't understand the business model-- likely smaller plans not cost effective unless you are Alphabet or Apple and able to loss-lead.... but since Dropbox has such a huge and devoted fan-base this is disapointing.  Dropbox would be my #1 choice time and again if they offered me something that made sense.  But I can't pay for what I don't need...  As the Free storage account is meeting my needs I'll stay with this but actively looking to migrate to OneDrive or alternative competing solution as soon as it makes sense because the Dropbox options are quickly becoming unworkable.

Thanks @Emma .  I have to agree with @mbxdoc that it is disappointing.  Perhaps you can share WHY Dropbox chooses to not offer a more reasonable price plan? There are so many requests for it (I beleive the most comments for any topic)... We're asking Dropbox to take our money - but at a reasonable pricepoint. I can only speculate that some senior executive somewhere has sadly decided that a lower pricepoint will erode margins (a false economy).

Although I have a "shedload" of photos, I have NEVER needed more than my present 140GB of storage. I feel as though I am being screwed by having no option other than paying for 2TB WHICH IS MORE THAN 14 TIMES WHAT I'M USING!!!!!!

 

That large a storage may make sense for a medium-size BUSINESS, but for a single consumer like me is downright laughable - or it would be laughable if it weren't so bloody expensive for seniors like me on very limited pensions.

After more than 6 years of this thread, DB yet to decide to launch lower tier storage plan. I can't understand the motive behind their unwillingness to do so. Seem like DB thinks that by keeping current number of users at expensive plan is better for business instead of losing some of them but gain a lot more customer for lower tier plan.
