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.?
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.

This is an often asked question, and has been covered in detail before - if you want the indepth answer, search the forums, but the short answer is that smaller plans would cost Dropbox a significant amount of money from people downgrading from the current Pro plan to a smaller plan more suitable to their needs. When Dropbox trialled smaller plans a few years ago, the numbers of people upgrading were not enough to offset the loss of revenue from the numbers of people downgrading.
So Dropbox decided not to continue smaller plans.

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.
Hello every body
In these days Dropobox wrote me to pay 9,99 €/month to keep 1TB. I think that is too expensive, there are free cloud drives with 10 TB, 1 TB or 100 GB for us, totally free with same services.
I other way, 9,99€ x 12 months = 119,9€ in 1 year, with same money I can buy an 3 TB fisical hard disk every year.
I 'm an old Dropobox customer but now I'm switching to other provider with 50 GB free.This is my opinion.
Kind regards,

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.I've been thinking the same. I am hearing that dropbox is faster than onedrive, and my initial tests suggest this is true, but for the sort of things I need £80 a year is ten times what it is worth.
I'd pay £10 or £12 a year, but £80 a year is way beyond what I want to spend.
