Dropbox StaffWhat are the new Dropbox Business plans?
We're replacing our existing Dropbox Business and Dropbox Enterprise plans with three new plans:
Standard—for teams needing powerful storage, sharing, and collaboration tools
Advanced—for teams...
We are 5-6 users on dropbox business plan right now and we pay 750$/year.
Just received your e-mail, and unless I am missing something, our next renewal will be 1200$/year, which is far beyond a reasonable increase in price.
I'll have to admit that I truly love dropbox, but much as I love you guys, we will have to consider other services like office 365.
Hope you wont make us leave...

Precisely the same situation as me...
At this rate, it'll be cheaper to buy a few servers and co-locate them!!!
Why is Dropbox making these changes?
We're listening to our customers who asked for more flexibility in buying Dropbox Business. Now you'll be able to select the admin tools, storage levels, and support services that are right for your team.
What that REALLY sounds like instead:
"We're listening to OUR INVESTORS who asked for MORE MONEY!"
Poor show DropBox. Poor bloody show!!!
Everywhere else in Tech, the price DECREASES!
We are a small business and subscribed for the unlimited data solution of the business plan. Having to move to an advanced subscription to maintain this triples our cost annually so we have cancelled our plan and will look for alternatives. I'm sure there will be a lot of others in the same situation. Instead of grandfathering these accounts in and leaving as is or offering a discounted rate Dropbox chose to give no options.
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!
- Ok, thanks. I will have to speak to someone next year I guess. There are things I need like HIPPA. I thought the increase was on the next renewal for 2018. At least I don't have to rush to find a replacement.
