I'm not saying that it could make sense for some small businesses but in my experience I haven't found one yet. I sat down with her and did an elementary school math projection for 5 years and she almost fainted when I gave her the final number of how much will cost to her company the Dropbox FAB in 5 years compared to what she already had. She had purchase a brand new server just two years prior. I have a client that told me that she wanted to use Dropbox because all her friends were using it. Most companies don't need Dropbox or "Cloud" file sharing they just believe they do. When they finally do the math they will feel very stupid.Ī file server requires very little maintenance if it just used for file storage and can offer the same or better syncing capabilities and remote access to your files. One day many customers will start asking a very simple question, how much we used to pay for a file server (that allowed us to do what DropBox and all these File Hosting companies do) and how much are we paying now? With this underhanded tactic now being common among (Irish) American tech-giants, who knows how long your file history will stick, even after opting-in.

These are addons that will vary in value depending on VERY individual use-cases - so it is a shame to see them tumble down the same road of Lastpass: boasting about new features you may not use, then upping the price on your required features because "we have new stuff so - value!". On a positive note, they have indeed added some fantastic filler to their offering over the last year, including some overdue admin controls, and Paper Opens a new window - a stripped down collab feed which you would already use #slack for. With our renewal coming up, I just received a nice email to casually let me know that Dropbox have been hard at work adding new features such as doubling our price and removing our unlimited file history.
