Has the name of Advanced Business changed to Business Plus, or are these two separate plans?
Hi everybody,
Currently my company is using Dropbox Advanced.
I created a Trial account to test some new features and noticed that the name Dropbox Advanced was no longer there, but instead w...

Hi Mark 2, thank you for reaching out.
I'm sorry for my lengthy response, I just wanted to cover everything.
Dropbox Advanced, is exactly what the Help Center describes.
Now as for Dropbox Business Plus, it is a plan for large teams and companies who need to efficiently give and receive feedback on projects, collaborate remotely, and deliver content both internally and externally.
Some of the features included are: Storage per license. Starting from 15 TB of total storage space, shared among the entire team (5 TB per actively used license with a 3 license minimum).
An actively used license is when a unique person regularly logs in and uses Dropbox. Each actively used license adds 5 TB to the total storage space, up to a limit of 1,000 TB.
Data classification. Automatically track and report on personal information stored in team folders, team member folders, and shared folders.
Extended version history.
Unlimited eSignature templates, and much more.
To see a full list of features and purchase the Dropbox Business Plus plan, visit the main purchase page.I hope that clarifies!

Hi Megan,
I have complete Confusion.
You currently offer 8 different Plans.
4 of them on https://www.dropbox.com/plans/storage
and 4 of them on https://www.dropbox.com/business
So Standard & Business are 12€
Advanced & Business plus are 18€
But
For Storage Plans I can see an extended feature list with blue Checkboxes.
For "Business" Plans I have no clue whats inside (besides the little description).
Thats so confusing and frustrating, as I had a phone call with 2 of your support members and no one could explain me what the differnece is (besides the features I can read in the short description).
Does Business Plus offer 100% same feature list as Advanced? Plus signature and stuff...?
But who is then going to buy Advanced if it has obviously less functionality but is the same price??
Can you please explain this. its an absolut Mess what Dropbox is doing here!!

Windo ... I agree the Plans are in a real mess at the moment ....Not only have you got the the two links that you have mentioned, there are three more hidden away for personal use.... Family and Basic and Basic Extra
As Rich highlighted below, is this the official link, if so why haven't the others deleted ?https://www.dropbox.com/plans

The main link is the one I provided.
That link shows a comparison of the various full-featured plans that are available. If you just need storage without the added features like document signatures or content recording, then you can compare the various storage-only plans at this link.
The other links you included are like marketing pages, showcasing features for specific plans, and don't provide an overall comparison.
All of the links are valid and official.

Rich Thanks for the reply .... I get what you're saying but I can't help feeling there must be an easier way ... Why not have all the business plans (Storage/Extra Features) on the one compare page with Personal and Professional plans on another. Comparing Plus with Advance Business on the same link doesn't make sense to me.
I recommended to a friend the Family Plan .... Where is that plan listed 😞 .. Unless you know of it and use Google its tricky to find.... Not to mention Basic Extra which is almost invisible .
If we're having this discussion something isn't right ... Keep it simple
