We know that working and keeping in touch is a little different at the moment, so we are excited to announce some amazing new features for Dropbox Plus users to help you stay organized and get more done, without adding any more stress. We are delighted to say that some of the ideas you, our Community members, have submitted have been made in to a reality. They are currently in Beta and will be included as part of the Dropbox Plus plans soon. We would love to hear what you think, so join the conversation below.
Dropbox Family
You asked for it, and it’s here! Dropbox Family is Dropbox Plus, but for your whole family.
Everyone who is connected to the family account will have all the features of Dropbox Plus on their own accounts, but it will all be organized on one bill. Now you can store those secret family recipes and group photos in one place, with 2TB of shared storage and it’s all on one bill, to keep it simple. When you share with members on your plan, it only counts towards your plan storage once, not for each time a document is shared. Now you can create a shared family spaceto share those important family docs with peace of mind. Your plan can include up to 6 members, whether they are in your household or living elsewhere, like college students or grandparents.
We're currently beta testing the Dropbox Family product with select Dropbox users and plan to roll it out more broadly throughout the year, so keep your eyes peeled.

Store and sync passwords across all devices with Dropbox Passwords
How many of us are guilty of reusing or remixing passwords and still forgetting them all? One of the biggest interruptions to our lives can be forgetting passwords, whether it’s paying a bill online, managing your kids schoolwork or just streaming to relax.
Don’t worry, the new Passwords app saves your passwords in one safe place and autofills them so you can instantly sign in to websites and apps. You can sign in anywhere on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android devices. Passwords secures your credentials with zero-knowledge encryption, so your passwords are protected and only accessible by you. This is currently in Beta and will be released to a wider audience soon.

Whether it’s your passport, insurance details, or even legal documents, you want to make sure your most important files are safe and well organized, so you can find them when you need them. We have created Vault, with a PIN for secure access. Enjoy peace of mind knowing that you can designate trusted friends or family members who can access your files in an emergency.

Computer backup syncs folders on your PC or Mac with Dropbox
We’ve all had that gut wrenching moment when our computer freezes and we panic to think when we last backed it up… Well now you’ll always know! Once you turn on the computer backup feature, you can automatically back up folders on your PC or Mac, including your Desktop, Downloads, and Documents, directly into your Dropbox folder. Files and folders are continuously synced between the cloud and your hard drive and accessible from anywhere. Computer backup is now available in beta on Dropbox Basic, Plus, and Professional plans.

Which of these features are you most excited about?
I believe the Family Plan is already available. Just go to your plan & choose the upgrade option & the Family Plan should be one of the possible options
Great idea... would want one plan for my family...
What about the auto backup from my iPhone and iPad? I currently need to pay Apple and Dropbox for the same thing. If I drop the Apple backup, and my phone is lost then I lose all my info.
You need to collect a kickback from this one. You just full on sold me in plus option, upgrading ASAP.
Question though, you mentioned would be able to back up desktop to dropbox. What about Android backup to dropbox instead of Google? Google is entirely too intrusive and I'm trying to make them as obsolete as possible in my life
All of this sounds very exciting. I am French, living in Brussels, with a home in Italy and my family lives in Paris. I would love to give them access to my documents, because it is important for me that they know what I do. Also, in case of problem or my death, they can take over easily.
