Using family plan for a small business?

I cannot see anything in the T&C regarding this but it's possible I missed it. Anyway, does Dropbox require businesses to use Dropbox Business regardless of whether they need the extra features? Or can they use a personal/family plan if it fits their needs?

 

We're a team of 4 people and the family plan features currently are more than enough for us and the pricing fits our limited budget. While I can sign up and "pretend" it's a "family", I do not really want to be in violation of the T&C for any reason and to avoid liability.

  • You can use it absolutely fine for that purpose. The only thing to be aware of is things like the support levels are based upon it not being a business - so dont expect super quick replies AND dont expect all the bells and whistles of the other plans.
