You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Dropbox StaffWhat are the new Dropbox Business plans?
We're replacing our existing Dropbox Business and Dropbox Enterprise plans with three new plans:
Standard—for teams needing powerful storage, sharing, and collaboration tools
Advanced—for teams...
Wouldn't it have made more sense to keep the pricing of the Advanced plan to approximately what users are paying now, and then offer the Standard plan at a cheaper price?
I ask because a 60% increase is too much to swallow for a file storage service. For the same price as the Advanced plan ($20/user-month), an organization can get an E3 license of Office 365 which would include the Office products, Exchange e-mail, a 1TB per user OneDrive account for file storage/collaboration, and a 1TB + 0.5GB/user SharePoint storage limit (up to 25TB max). In our organization's case (35 Dropbox users using less than 1TB), that's 35TB of OneDrive and 18.5TB of SharePoint storage. The Standard plan isn't an option because we require HIPAA compliance.
This post isn't intended to be an ad for Office 365. It's a plea for Dropbox to reconsider their pricing strategy.
