2 gigabytes only holds about 33 hours of music, 4 hours of video, or about 300 photos (depending on the average size of your files).įortunately, Dropbox has ways for you to increase the amount of computer memory that you can use to store your files, without having to upgrade your account. This isn't so bad if you're just sharing office documents, since they usually don't take up much memory space, but pictures, songs, and videos are another story. The main drawback of a basic account is that you only get 2 gigabytes of computer memory with which to store computer files on Dropbox. Recover a previous version of a file that you've stored on Dropbox, as long as that version is less than 30 days old. Give people links to your files on Dropbox so that they can view and download those files, even if they don't use Dropbox themselves. Files will synchronize (automatically update) to reflect any new changes to them.
Share files (and the folders that contain them) instantly with other people who use Dropbox. Store your computer files on Dropbox's servers, so they don't take up space on your own computer or mobile device.Īccess your computer files from the Dropbox application on your computer or mobile device, or directly on Dropbox's website. Each one gives you different features and costs a different amount of money. There are three different pricing plans that you can use for Dropbox: "Basic", "Pro", and "Business". In the case of Dropbox, the upgrades that you get for a paid account usually have to do with getting more computer memory to use to store files on Dropbox, or getting extra security features like being able to remotely delete Dropbox and its associated data off a lost or stolen computer or mobile device. This supposedly entices people, if they like the program, to upgrade the program with additional or better features by purchasing a subscription. If you haven't heard that term before, it basically means that they offer a free version of the program, but its features are somewhat limited. Dropbox is what you'd call a "freemium" service.
