Which plan is right for my needs?
I have had a Basic plan for many years, I’ve used it to share files between devices and with other people, but now the sharing ability has been restricted. I understand the business need to generate revenue from the services offered, and I am looking for the right service for me. What I want is the ability to: (1) continue sharing files between devices; (2) share files with other people like I could previously, including sharing files with a publicly accessible link; (3) back up files from one or more devices, without the requirement to sync the entire archive to any one device; (4) explore files remotely by folder and individual file, rather than download as a collection (e.g. ZIP) as required by services like iCloud; (5) ideally map the archive to a drive or folder in Windows for archive management using file comparison tools (or an integrated file comparison tool at least as capable as BeyondCompare); (6) back up the archive to a local hard drive for extra security; (7) have >1TB of archive capacity; (8) be able to use this for personal use and business use as an individual sole trader, not a large company with a big IT budget. I know I need to pay for this level of service, and with the archive and backup facilities I can justify a business expense. But I need a competitive price, without paying for lots of extras I simply don’t need. Is Dropbox the right solution for me? Does the Plus plan meet all the above? Which is the lowest cost solution which does? If Dropbox isn’t the right choice for me, what should I be looking at instead?
