Despite using dropbox heavily for work (And liking it), I don't understand their value proposition for personal use. Their pricing seems completely out of line with their competition.<p>2TB or nothing for a single account with no family sharing that costs more than iCloud? No thanks.<p>I would consider upgrading my free plan if they had smaller storage tiers available at competitive prices. Even then it would be a hard sell since it isn't as well integrated as iCloud is on Apple's ecosystem.
I really wish dropbox would offer a 2$ plan for 100GB comparable to google drive because I just don't need a full TB and I'd easily sign all family members up. The syncing is just way faster than the google drive sync.
Dropbox, from one of your first paying customer, I do not need more space, I want family sharing and face recognition on pictures. Thus I’ll move to icloud..
>We’re always looking for ways to make Dropbox better for you<p>Like by reducing the number of linkable devices from infinity to 3 for free accounts? I was enjoying my free 16GB of space from referring two dozen of my friends and family members. Guess how many angry text messages and e-mails I've received.<p>Hint: way more than enough to preclude me from recommending Dropbox to anyone ever again.
What about this?: <a href="https://linux.slashdot.org/story/18/08/10/2120248/dropbox-is-dropping-support-for-all-linux-file-systems-except-unencrypted-ext4" rel="nofollow">https://linux.slashdot.org/story/18/08/10/2120248/dropbox-is...</a>
Many times I’ve almost bit the bullet and paid for the (now old) Dropbox professional plan just for the smart syncing capability. But I decided not to because the feature was not worth an extra $9.99. But for $2 extra, I’d say this is a nice upgrade for smart syncing and extra storage.
I've had a professional plan for quite some time so that I would have access to Smart Sync. I'm rather excited about being able to pay less and still get everything I want.<p>Dropbox Plus, here I come!
Do they have a timetable for when they'll upgrade existing plans? I'm on plus and while I don't care too much about the extra 1TB of space the smart sync would be really nice.
Google Drive offers unlimited file storage for their G Suite plans which are now roughly $11/mo I believe. They also do free versioning and have cross-platform clients. While Linux isn't directly supported, there are several great clients. The Team Drive feature is pretty neat too.
Full-text search available for free with Google Drive. It's surprising that it's available on the more expensive Dropbox plans yet still "coming soon" on the Plus plan.
