Is there a cheaper plan than the Plus plan, that offers more space?
my question is:
Is there any plan that is even cheaper than the normal basic plan of 2000 tb? It happens that I want to have more storage space, but the cheapest plan is still quite expensive. ...
Hi wdshieh, if your account is eligible, you could upgrade to the Dropbox Basic Extra plan, which offers all the existing features on Basic, but with 50 GB of quota.
It would be an excellent idea to expand the audience to include single users, who often don't need a lot of space, to add a 50-100 GB plan for 1-2 euros per month, so perhaps you could subscribe instead of the classic iCloud
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.
Why can't dropbox provide cheaper options? Like 50GB for $5/year, 100GB for $10/year, 2000GB for $20/year, etc.?
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.

Dropbox trialled smaller plans in the past and found that they weren't financially viable.
And remember it was, until a few months ago, 100GB for $9.99/month.
It's worth noting that there have always been alternatives that are cheaper/bigger.
If those are the only motivational factors, there's never been a shortage of choice.Competition is a wonderful thing and if an alternative which is known to parse your stuff to deliver targeted ads hits that sweet spot, then all power to you.
Richard P.Bye then.
Bye bye you too, Mr Richard P. Super User ;-)
Dropbox is very good,useful, but too expensive and no choose.
People can get free space about 20GB, when free space is not enough, I will consider to buy additional space.
The dropbox only 1T ,one choose, it's too expensive.
If there are option (25G/25usd 50G/50usd 75G/75usd ),I thing people would pay to buy.
The change is slow, it is hard to detect.
1T is good , but to expensive and too bigger then original space.Can you offer discount for users who continue to buy services?
First time here, but I have been using DB for about 3 years now. I have my phones/tablet set to auto upload (Drop-Sync Pro) my images etc. off each device at night time. I have really loved DB. BUT .... Apparently, TWO YEARS ago (like I can remember that), I got 48GB of space because I purchased a Samsung Phone. I just got an email didn't I? Telling me that I am about to lose that space unless if pay AUD $139/year for DB Pro!! I am utterly disappointed in this as I have got my mum and friends on the DB cause I love it. Now I am 22.7 GB's over what will be my new limit. I am sorry but as a Single working mum, that premium is far too high for this service. So, I feel I will have no choice but to leave DB and find a suitable alternative. $99US is not too bad but with the Australian Dollar and all, it is too prohibitive for me. In fact .... I have a Microsoft Office 365 Account which I pay a yearly subscription for and that is HEAPS cheaper than a yearly subscription for DBPro!!!
Edited to add: I have just done some online searching for alternatives to DB and am looking at iDrive Personal Pro. $60/year (1TB) to do everything that DB does and more, to me, is a more affordable option. Unless DB want to remain competitive and offer the same deal for the same price? Balls in your court DB. I would prefer to stay with you but not for $139/Year.
2nd Edit: (sorry). Too many reviews are scathing of iDrive, but to my utter delight I have just realised that I purchase an Office 365 Subscription each year for me and my school aged children. We get the MS Pro suite of products for 5 persons per year PLUS because I have a 365 Subscription I also get 1TB storage automatically!! Yeah baby! That costs me AUD $119/year. More bang for my buck!Dropbox is so stingy! They offerer more space for us via "space race", but now they are taking them back!
Of course I know there are lots of other options for this similar services. But the question is that all other options are not as good as Dropbox. I have been using it for 4 years and throughout the whole time i have tried all different cloud storage programs, but none of them can compete with Dropbox.
