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...
We have just received notice that you, as a company, are moving from a business account to a four tiered ‘pro’ ‘standard’ ‘advanced’ and ‘enterprise’ system for Dropbox, with our account being shifted to an ‘advanced’ system (usability as of now, price as of next year),
By the looks of it we’d most likely want a ‘standard’ account (mostly because of the price!), however this does get rid of the ‘tiered admin’ abilities, would this then mean we’d only be able to have one admin for the account? In which case, what would the other members not be able to do? I understand the accounts do not get upgraded in terms of price till next year, can you confirm this?
Also I’ve seen you are moving from unlimited version history to 120 days for all your higher accounts, as a business we would need unlimited version control and so we have ‘opted in’ for now, would this then revert to 120 days in January 2018 or would we keep unlimited version control from now on?

On the Advanced plan, there are three admin levels (from high to low: Team level, Member level, Support level). On the Standard plan, we simplified this to only one (the highest) admin permission level. However, this does not mean that you can only have one admin! In fact, we encourage everyone to have several admins for redundancy in case an admin is on PTO, for example.

Correct, existing customers were given access to Advanced features at no extra charge. You’ll have access to these features at your original pricing plan until your first renewal date in 2018. If you want to downgrade to Standard, you’ll have until your first renewal date in 2018 to do so and will keep all Advanced features at no extra cost until you downgrade.
Also I’ve seen you are moving from unlimited version history to 120 days for all your higher accounts, as a business we would need unlimited version control and so we have ‘opted in’ for now, would this then revert to 120 days in January 2018 or would we keep unlimited version control from now on?
We offer existing customers to opt out of this change and therefore keep unlimited version history within 90 days. Whatever you choose, unlimited or extended version history, is what you'll get going foward. Your renewal in 2018 does not affect that change and if you chose to keep unlimited version history, you will keep unlimited version history in 2018 and beyond.
Hope this helps!
