1 TB for $99 - too much and too expensive. We need something cheaper.

[Denis V.2]

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.

Prices are just crazy. Cloud storage is the same price as a netflix subscription, YouTube, Google advertising to over 3k people weekly 96k yearly, Facebook ads for over 3k people weekly; 115k yearly. It's crazy. Cloud storage, especially Dropbox, should be a 2.99 charge a month and should almost be forgotten once signed up because it's used so infrequently but worth having that the price should justify that. 9.99 a month is a subscription that you cancel cause u can't afford it... Cloud storage should forever be affordable because what happens if u can't pay the 10 bucks .. they delete your files... forget that... no thanks. Like pushing your customers to one drive or Google Cloud fine but I've had Dropbox forever and would have continued if the prices where not ridiculous.

hello. paid plan has a lot of free space. so... didn't you think to start your own mail service? e.g. 50 gb for 2Tb plan is like small change. gmail, outlook etc are getting worse from year to year, dropbox always makes perfect products and personally for me dropbox has the highest level of trust.

thanks!

A lot of companies like Apple, Google and Microsoft are offering regional pricing for other countries. That makes it more accessible for people in other countries like Argentina, Ecuador etc.

Also i find it very strange that there are no option for 200GB 500GB etc. It’s either 2,5GB or 2TB! It would be nice to have a wider selection so the users can pay for what they need.

Another item worth mentioning is the family pricing which doesn’t make any sense. Why personal account with 2TB costs 12USD per month and the same 2TB for family use is 20USD? While apple charges 10USD for the 2TB shared with family or not.

Thanks for your attention.
Cheers

Based in Turkey, I am working in Higher Ed. Education Sector, and quite frequent user of DROPBOX.

I am observing the usage and number of paid subscribers of DB in East Europe and Turkey is quite low, whereas free users are quite a lot... I believe it is due to standard global pricing / not country based revaluation and repricing accordingly...

Evaluating competitors' localised pricing strategy , one can claim that, country based pricing for same subscription models would take noteworthy attention. With the right pricing model, and the right marketing and sales activity, paid DB user numbers would rise exponentially.

Please have a look at the competitors' pricing:

"https://one.google.com/about/plans?hl=tr" Google One 100GB : 58TL / yr ( approx. 3.6 Euro) (VALID for TURKISH CUSTOMERS)

"https://one.google.com/about/plans"  Google One 100GB :  20 Euro/yr ( VALID FOR EU CUSTORMERS )

Here is my question: Will there be a re-pricing according to countries or territories?

why would I pay $184 a year for 2TB when

I can buy a 2TB external drive for less than $100 and share it online with 

Teams Viewer for free.

I don't understand why people are paying for this

Hi there, Dropbox team.

As my free space has been close to full, I've been receiving offers to subscript a plan.

What happens is: for people who make a living in Dollars, it's totally reasonable to pay 9,99, after all, the minimum wage in US is about 2,000 (which corresponds to almost 10 minimum wages in Brazil). But for Brazilian users (which is my case) the currency is not favorable (1 dollar to 5 BRL), so I can't afford to subscript even the lowest price plan. 10 dollars monthly correspond to half a month sallary by the end of the year.  

I'd like to suggest the creation of adapted plans for foreign users (like me), adjusted to their currency. 
As an example, not 10 dollars, but 10 or 20 BRL to the cheapest plan would mean balance in face of the different realities, and we would be talking of a measure of equality. 

Therefore, it would be a sensible act of social reach, making it possible to people in different coutries who face different economic scenarios to buy a subscription plan comfortably. 
Thank you very much for the opportunity of sharing this idea. I hope it can turn into a reality.

$54 a month for 5 tb’s???? Are you wearing your bandana masks when you ask that? How about a more affordable option for sole proprietors. Thank you very much.

For some countries this level of price is too expensive. The free option is too small and you need to have more cheaper plans.

Hi, I really want 3tb, but £16.58 is a bad deal, as its over twice what I currently pay for 50% more capacity.

I don't need any other features, other than more storage .

£12/month should be the cost. I think Dropbox is missing out on a lot of revenue with its pricing model.

Thanks

I think 2TB of storage space is quite a lot for an individual. If a product with reduced storage space and fee is released, it will receive a very positive response.
