Now i can see that its written that every user costs 12€. So my question ist: When there is only one user registered, do i only need to pay 12€ per Monthts right? Or do i have to pay for minimum 3 users even there are no second or third users connected?
Business accounts have a minimum user count. If you sign up for an account that lists 3 users minimum, you'll be charged for 3 licenses whether you assign them to someone or not.
The only reason why i set it up like this is because i want to have a backup of my Dropbox on the Synology NAS.
Unless something has changed recently, or unless Synology has changed their app, you shouldn't need a Business account (or even a paid account) to sync to a NAS. The Dropbox applications on NAS devices aren't official apps. They're written by the NAS manufacturers and use the Dropbox API to connect to your account. This doesn't show up as a linked device and wouldn't use a license on a Business account.
It was necessary to update my plan ... otherwise it would not connect the NAS to the Dropbox.
What message was it giving you when you tried to link your account on the NAS?
