Hi!

I think your pricing policy is not right. 1TB for $99 is too much space for too much money.
With Google I can have 100 Gb for $1.99 per month, which is more than enough for me.
After being a premium user for more than 3 years, I am switching to Google Drive.

I too have never needed more than 200 GB. I've been paying for the upgrade for the last few years because I LOVE dropbox (I'm familiar with the interface, like the features, and it works with every app), it was convenient because I already had a lot of things on it, and I justified it for that long because I use it for important things that I figured were worth the money. However, with the price hike, and nothing of value having been added for me, I decided that it was really time for me to move to a competitor. I'm glad Dropbox is no longer entirely dismissing the potential for a cheaper subscription like they did before. Over time, more of us will move to competitors and get used to them and Dropbox will lose a lot of customers. I personally would still move back if there was a cheaper option (I would pay $60 per year), but at these prices, it's not worth it for me.

I also came for the same reason. Sadly, 10 bucks a month is too high.. every service nowadays thinks they are worth 120 euros a year. 

 

Having the lowest plan being 5 times more expensive than Google Drive is sad. I do believe Dropbox is a great product, but I think they should really accomodate the non-power users. I'd happily throw a couple of bucks their way for their great product. But just not 10 euros per month for the rest of my life.

Just adding to the many, many people here that would like to see Dropbox offer more reasonable consumer prices.

 

Only $12/month is really, really expensive, and the new family plan at $17 (more than Netflix/Spotify/GSuite/365/etc) is just insane. 

 

Dropbox is the best file sharing/folder option, but it's priced like a BMW and the features compared to other things are really not competitive. Ten years ago I used Dropbox the exact same way I do today, and that's great, but that also means nothing useful to me has been added while the price continues to increase. 

 

Dropbox got great by focusing on consumers. A little bit of a return to that would be so nice to see.

Primero que todo, amo dropbox es un gran servicio y me ha ayudado en muchas muchas ocaciones, pero siempre he tenido un problema ya que soy independiente, solo trabajo yo por lo que no puedo comprar el dropbox para empresa 1. soy solo yo no tengo equipo. 2 el precio del dolar es muy alto en colombia por lo que esto repercutiria en el costo de mi trabajo, para los que llevamos mucho tiempo en dropbox hemos notado los cambios positivos, PERO, tambien deben tomar en cuenta las pequeñas empresas y las personas que necesitamos muchas funcionalidades de una empresa pero no contamos con el personal para comprar dos o tres cuentas. 

 

Es algo que he escrito varias veces y ojala algún día lo tomen en cuenta, si el equipo de programadores quiere hacer algun tipo de test conmigo sería fantastico, como por ejemplo poder controlar las fechas de caducidad de un archivo a la hora de enviarlo con trasnfer, lo digo por que de igual manera estamos pagando una mensualidad y valdría la pena tener todo

I adhere to the post edit dude 

being deep in the seventh decade  of my life and having stopped working actively, DB is now for personal use only, until today the company paid.
For old people like me, $ 120 a year is too much. for a fee $ 30 a year I don't even think twice. DB far superior to google drive and MS oneDrive.no doubt !  DB password program is mediocre and roboform for instance better . 

 

think about it

Hello, I would like to know why the dropbox has only 2 GB of storage? And couldn't you put ads on download pages or some ad notification that appears in the corner to give you more storage for free?
Or also lower the prices of the plans because converting dollar to real (BRL) is expensive, so only 10 dollars already 50 reais. So it's good to think about it.

at £7.99 x12 = £95.88 you can buy a pretty good 2 TB hard drive for that.. Just an opinion like.. as i guess 2 tb is for the home user and 2 TB is a lot  £5 would be a better price

I could only find about possible discounts on business accounts for nonprofit businesses. Why not a senior, disability, low income plan for Dropbox+? Maybe offer with partnership with AARP, AMAC, AAA or some other organization. I am all of the above and I’m sure there are many others and would greatly increase your subscriber base for individuals that can’t afford the $11.99/month or yearly rate.

It's time for Dropbox to consider increasing the storage capacity that comes with the plans. The $12/mo "Dropbox Plus" plan that I've been paying for 2TB of storage was a good deal several years ago, but hasn't kept up with evolution. I realize that Dropbox has added many great features, which has made it a household brand name. But technology is evolving where storage is getting cheaper, while file sizes are getting bigger. Other companies like Apple charge $10 for 2TB, MS One Drive is $5.83/mo to add 1TB to the free 1TB that comes with MS Office, and $10 for up to 5TB per user on their Business Plan. CrashPlan is $10 for UNLIMITED storage and has similar features like file history retention. This issue has come up for me because I have evolving requirements that's causing me to make new decisions, so I suspect that numerous others are starting to wrestle with the same. I'd prefer to stay with Dropbox because of how well it works and the features it provides that makes it easy to work with others. But giving you (Dropbox) a heads up that you might start making it easier for competitors to make switching easier if you don't address getting ahead of this and either bumping up the storage, or lowering the price. Thanks!
