Dropbox paid plans way too expensive

Hi there,

 

I've been a Dropbox user more or less from the very beginning and I regret to say that the paid plans are way too expensive for an average user (or a family for that matter): 2 TB for 120,- € per year for a PLUS plan - honestly... I'm pretty much sure that you will get many more paid users if the price plans were more reasonable.

 

Furthermore, Dropbox sends out messages informing that they have "new possibilities" and by the end of the day, it's the same expensive "special offer" as always.

 

Hopefully, this will change.

 

Kind regards,

Peter

    This is exactly my situation too. I actually have enough storage space for my Dropbox account, but I need to use it on more than three devices. The only way I can get that is for the Plus plan, which costs way too much just to be able to sync to one more device without having to sign out of another connected device. I bet there are a ton of other people who are like me and just need to connect more devices to their Dropbox accound, or just a little more storage space. A lot of people have no need for an additional 2TB of cloud storage, especially when we can get the amount of storage much cheaper with other cloud storage services. The only reason why even use Dropbox is because a couple of apps I use only sync to Dropbox so I don't have a choice. If Dropbox offers a much cheaper plan for people like me, I would gladly pay for it. But as it is right now, I'd rather just have to sign out of another device or find alteranatives to the apps that only sync to Dropbox.

      Many thanks, Megan - hopefully, the appropriate persons will give it some thought. After all, there will be two winners: Dropbox AND the increasing amount of customers.

       

      Wishing you a great day.
