My understanding is that once opted-in the unlimited retention will continue to be a feature of your Business plan for as long as you maintain that plan.
I wish it will be like this!! in that case it will demonstrate some respect to loyal clients...
Then I asked this to Dropbox Support Team and they told me that we only will have the unlimited version history until we renovate our plan in 2018, but if you d'ont check before April 30, 2017 to keep unlimited version history and deletion recovery, you will have 120 days since then. Theeeennn... you will always loose!! in 2018 you can choose to pay the same for loose a lot of functions or pay 50% more to loose only the unlimited version history.
We hope Dropbox think about this and take a more satisfying way before a lot of users change their cloud service.

Wanted to clear up some of this confusion:
I am in exactly the situation everyone else is complaining about.
I have been using dropbox longer than I can remember. My new business currently pays $750 a year, but in three days is going to increase to $1200 for the same service that I now have. I must have missed an email detailing the price increase.
I have been loyal to Dropbox, have defended them online numerous times, have recommended them both online and to individuals countless times, and I have no doubt dropbox procured many new customers for dropbox based on my recommendations. I now not only feel betrayed by Dropbox, but I am embarrassed that I recommended a company that is recklessly imposing price increases. I don't see any improvements to Dropbox that would warrant this type of an increase.
Someone said that prices are coming down, and I agree with that. However, when I read these things online I generally only glance at them because I am pleased with Dropbox and never had any intention of leaving. But a 60% increase in cost is unheard of and probably will lose for you a large number of customers.
There is no way that I will accept a 60% price increase. I will pay what I have to in the short term because I suspect that I will not be able to find a service to replace dropbox that has all of the required features in just three days, but I assure you dropbox will not be the company that I use in the future with this price increase. As I have already displayed with Dropbox, I am very loyal to companies who are loyal to me; once I leave Dropbox the likelihood of my returning is almost nil.
Hey esmith!
Any of these changes won't come into effect until 2018, so you wouldn't get charged $1200 in three days, unless specifically opened the Billing tab in your Admin Console and upgraded.
Moreover, you'll be able to stay on the same price point $750 if all you need is the Standard plan. The price change is for the enhanced Advanced plan only.
Hope that clarifies things!
yes it is exactly how you describe it, a bit of badly strategized price gouging here.
What I don't undestand is: do you pay for 5 users regardless of the amount of users/email you setup?
