DropBox payment program specific to Brazil

Dear, due to popularity of Dropbox in Brazil, I would like to suggest that you think about a Dropbox payment program in the local currency. Tools like Apple´s icloud are already offering opportunities in reais (local currency). I wanted to suggest that Dropbox also had this option.

    This idea is going to need a bit more support before we can share your suggestion with the team. 
     
    I've updated the status to encourage more users to back you up!

    Due to the high variation of the dollar in relation to the Brazilian Real, the variation of the value of the monthly plan suffers great variations. I suggest revision for a fixed amount per month already charged in reais, with competitive values in relation to other competing services such as Google Drive. Currently the value of Dropbox is much higher than Google Drive, in my case the space of 2TB is double the value.

    Também aponho a causa. Tenho certeza que se o Dropbpx revise os preços ganharia muitos usuários brasileiros, principalmente entre os usuários do Linux, como eu.

    I fully support this idea!

     

    The exchange rate is very disproportional at the moment. We need plans in Brazilian Reais, please!

    Hi Luciana5 gustavomacedo chibiyuuto flawiin williamcc89 ,

     

    We realize this is long overdue. I'm happy to announce that we have just started rolling out support for Brazilian Reais for Basic users to purchase in. At the moment, existing paying users won't be able to switch over directly, but we plan to migrate paying users over to BRL early next year. 

     

    Best,

    Amanda
