Look towards the direction of Google One, the company’s cloud storage options for better value. However, if you look around, you’ll realize that the Dropbox Plus and Dropbox Professional plans don’t offer the best value, if you are purely looking at it in terms of the storage space on offer-think about it, if you don’t already use the ‘power’ features on Dropbox, you would probably not need these right away anyway. As per research firm Statista, Dropbox generated $1.4 billion in revenue in 2018, up from around $1.1 billion in 2017.īut if you really had to fish out your credit card, should you upgrade to a Dropbox paid subscription plan? Well, it would indeed be the easiest to upgrade and be done with it. As of September, Dropbox had already clocked around 500 million users, of which 12.3 million reportedly were paid subscribers. It is impossible to see this as anything but a nudge for the free Dropbox subscribers to move to the paid subscription tiers.

This is priced at $19.99 (around Rs 1384 per month). Then there is the Professional tier, which bundles 2TB of cloud storage as well as shared link controls, full text search, viewer history and smart sync, in addition to all the Plus tier options. This will cost you $9.99 (around Rs 692) per month. The Plus tier offers 1TB of cloud storage space, unlimited device linking and all the other features such as two-factor authentication, Microsoft Office 365 integration and 256-bit AES and SSL/TLS encryption. If you wish to link more devices to Dropbox, you will have to upgrade to one of the paid subscription options.Īt present, there is the Dropbox Plus and the Dropbox Professional subscription options to choose from, if you so wish.

If you are a Basic tier subscriber and the change isn’t reflecting yet in your account, fear not, because it will soon be rolled out for all users. The currently popular cloud storage service has quietly updated the usage policies for the active accounts, and as of this month, users on the free Basic subscription tier will only be able to link your account to only three laptops, PCs, phones or tablets. Cloud storage service Dropbox could either be embarking on what is a masterplan to switch free users to paid premium subscriptions, or simply shooting itself in the foot.
