But if you have a lot to store, you run into both transmission time limitations and what I call the "cloud storage ceiling". If your needs are minimal, it's a great idea. one of the familyĬloud storage is turning out to be a mixed bet. Because neither Dropbox for Business plan will go back in time that far for you. If you're using the Business Standard or Advanced plan and you need to go back 121 days, you better have a DeLorean. I reached out to a Dropbox rep through chat and asked if it would be possible to upgrade the business account to what's called the "Extended Version History" option in the individual Plus plan. The 2017 Dropbox for Business Standard plan, and the new Advanced plan, both only provide 120 days of file recovery. Last year's Business Plan listed versioning as "unlimited file recovery." That meant you could go back for as long as the account had existed, and recover versions. This is in marked contrast to both the 2017 Business Standard and Advanced plans. But, if you want a year worth of versioning, you can add it for $39. It does have a Paper note-taking app to help you collaborate with others, but good luck finding people who use that.For the individual Plus plan, Dropbox offers 30 days of versioning. But other than that, Dropbox is pretty bare bones. You get more days - and features - with more expensive plans, such as smart sync, priority chat support, and full-text search. You can even put your entire PC or Mac inside your Dropbox, and your data will be available locally and in the cloud.įor the basic plan, files have a 30-day version history so you can recover an older version of the file for up to a month. It’s also really user friendly - simply create a Dropbox folder and drag-and-drop your files into it. Plus, it's speedy and reliable with consistent syncing. It's meant to be for everyone, regardless of you're preferred ecosystem. ![]() 2TB for $16.99 per month (called Professional, has more features)ĭropbox is interesting because it's not designed for specific devices or platforms.1TB for $9.99 a month (called Plus it's Basic, plus 1TB of space).You also get unlimited free storage of 1080p videos. But the real perk is free storage of photos up to 16 megapixels in size from your mobile device - including iPhone and iPad - via the Google Photos app, which auto backs up photos to Google Drive. Plus, the new Google Drive "Google One" consumer storage plans can be shared between a maximum of five family members, too. It gives you a generous 15GB free, and unlimited free storage for your Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides files with support for real-time collaboration. That said, it's also a great option for iPhone users who want a clean photo storage experience, and students and professionals who use Google Docs and other Google services.
