Is there a cheaper plan than the Plus plan, that offers more space?
my question is:
Is there any plan that is even cheaper than the normal basic plan of 2000 tb? It happens that I want to have more storage space, but the cheapest plan is still quite expensive.
Is there an alternative storage plan, which is cheaper?
Hi wdshieh, if your account is eligible, you could upgrade to the Dropbox Basic Extra plan, which offers all the existing features on Basic, but with 50 GB of quota.
Dropbox can think of a plan starting with lower spaces say 250GB, 500GB, 1TB, etc.
That is suitable for small and medium enterprises.
- There should be an option to purchase a flat amount of storage. I use dropbox for a specific purpose that just does not necessitate paying per month but I would absolutely pay for a flat storage increase. I would honestly pay for just GBs like it wouldn’t even need to be paying for TBs bc I think the subscription for TBs makes sense for other people but for my purposes a one time purchase of 25-50 GB would get the job done and I’d buy that option in a heartbeat
I've been paying $11.99 a month for 2TB storage for years. I don't need that much storage and finally decided to do something about it. I was shocked to discover that there is not a plan between the free one and the 2TB one. I inquired and was told that there is no plan for creating one in the future which is unfortunate because I really like dropbox but Its time to look for a more cost effective cloud storage service that provides more pricing/plan options.
Hi there,
Im sure this has been raised but it would be great to have another plan option for smaller plans. This would especially be useful for people who want to use the rekordbox cloud storage which requires you to have a dropbox account. The plus plan is too expensive if it is just being used for rekordbox cloud storage and 2tb is far more than needed. I have 2000 songs which equates to 32gb. I would love to have a 100gb plan for max $20 - $50aud a year.
Good morning.
With regards to the Drop Box purchase options, if I am correct, there is the 2GB and then the purchase options start at 2000GB, which is a little pricy.
There should be a purchase option too of 1000GB. Looking into this option, will also be a good thing, I think. It's just a suggestion 🙂
I have 4TB now and would just need 1TB more
so it doesn't work
No dropbox has send me an email to add a top up of 1TB but this whole link doesn't work and get directed to buying the 5TB for a min of 3 users!
what is this for strange way of getting money out of people
I love Dropbox's block-level synchronization, but I hate the drastic change from 2GB (free) to 2TB (plus).
I think more people would purchase a lower option than the 2TB. I just want 100GB - 250GB without having to pay 120$ a year.
As the subject says, I wish Dropbox would offer a cheaper plan for less storage.
I've been managing alright on a few gigabytes of storage for many years. I just don't need 2TB of cloud storage.
I really like Dropbox and wouldn't mind paying monthly for it if I didn't feel like I would be mainly paying for a bunch of storage to just sit empty.
I would also be ok with a higher price per gigabyte if it meant a lower monthly cost e.g. 4€ for 250GB.
Dropbox plan 5GB single user
It is ridiculous that there is not a dropbox plan for people that work alone with 5GB!
No I need to buy 3 subscriptions but I work alone! Im not paying that money and not buying that plan and now try to find another solution with another company to store my data
Hi all,
I'm a personal user with free Basic plan. I wish Dropbox can offer a plan with 100G or 200G. 2T is just too expensive for me.

Hi wdshieh, if your account is eligible, you could upgrade to the Dropbox Basic Extra plan, which offers all the existing features on Basic, but with 50 GB of quota.
I wish Dropbox had a $1.99/month 100GB like Google Drive or a $4.99/month for 1TB plan. Or $3.99/month for 500GB.
I really think it's time that Dropbox offered a cheaper plan than the Plus that is 9.99/month for 2TB. I wish something was offered in the $1.99/month price point that offered 100GB like Google Drive.
- Unfortunately that doesn't really solve the problem. If it was 50GB for free sure but at the same price as Google Drive with half the storage it doesn't seem like a good deal. I wish there was a 100GB, 500GB and 1TB option for regular consumers.
- I am a free member as of now. I keep receiving your upgrade plans starting with 2 TB. That is far beyond my lifetime requirement. I wonder why you don't introduce affordable plans for 500 GB and 1 TB. Individuals and SMEs require storage less than 1 TB. Please consider customer friendly packs.
Else I am happy with Google plans that allow me to scale up steadily.
RGSame.. I have used dropbox for 10 years, and right now I am looking to onedrive and google as I need more space.
I need 100gb... not 2tb! And the 2tb isn't even shareable, for that you need the 2tb family pack, over 200Euro / year..
I would gladly pay 2$ for 100gb or 5$ for 500gb package instead of going to other services.
Right Now I'm paing both Google and Microsoft to test them out. Still cheaper x)Agree 100%. I am managing with 200 GB on Google as I have lots of images and videos besides documents.
I am tired of Dropbox's frequent reminders and aggressive sales pitch for 2/5 TB. My request for 500 GB seems to be falling on deaf ears.
If they want to stick to their 2/5TB upgrade offers then I will delete all my stuff and unsubscribe at the earliest.
What is also most annoying is that they think their Chatbot can handle all the queries a customer may have. They just don't have a human interface to respond to customer queries. I wish I could ask their Chatbot to provide me the storage space and I pay the Chatbot instead of Dropbox. 😡
Dear Dropbox,
Please give some affordable space to users who can able be able to pay. If you are giving 2TB for nearly $120 per year if paid once will not be affordable and most of them will not Upgrade. Instead you can give 50-100GB with $10 per year, then lots of people can Use and Upgrade the Dropbox plan. This is my idea to improve your Business.
Hi! I just wanted to share some concerns and ideas for your software. I am currently using a free account with 2gb storage only. I use this for my online work. The 2gb storage isn't enough for me right now so I need to upgrade to a plan, however, the least I could avail (2TB) is too much of what I need.
If there is any way I could avail a subscription with atleast 300-500gb only and at a lesser price, I would love that.
