Backup plan
What’s the difference between the Dropbox Plus plan and the Dropbox backup plan ? The backup plan is about half the price.
I can’t find any information about this.
- Hey bzp85!
The Backup plan has all the features the basic plan provides. You can still connect up to three devices, and one of them can have the computer backup feature enabled.
The content you want to back up does not count towards the basic plan's 2 GB of storage space.

Hi bzp85, I'd be happy to answer this one for you!
The Dropbox Backup plan is a paid subscription that provides all the space that you need for automatic cloud backups of one computer.
It also includes 30 days of file version history, including Dropbox Rewind, and all the features of the Dropbox Basic plan.

If you have any questions, let me know.- Thanks for your reply Megan.
So compared to the Plus plan it works only on one computer ? Does this also count for the features from the Basic plan or only for the backup function?
So let’s say I want to sync documents (fitting within the basic plan quota) between multiple computers and want to backup a folder with photos (1 Tb) on one computer. I could work with the Backup plan, or do I still need the plus plan because of the syncing ability of multiple computers for the documents?- MeganHey bzp85!
