It’s a cut throat competition out there and Dropbox doesn’t wan’t to stay behind. The company has changed the pricing and storage of its cloud storage plans to match more closely with what Google has to offer on Google Drive and Microsoft’s OneDrive.
Until now, Dropbox offered 100 GB of space for $9.99 per month, with an upper limit of 500 GB for $500. Those plans have been scrapped and now the company is offering 1TB of storage for $9.99 a month, similar to what Google Drive offers for the same amount of money. Annual subscription will cost you $99 for the same storage, a saving of 17 percent. However, that’s not all and to beat the competitors Dropbox plans to offer the following features soon:
- Passwords for shared links create an additional layer of security so only people with the password can access your link.
- Expirations for shared links safeguard your sensitive files by letting you set how long your links stay up.
- View-only permissions for shared folders let you pick whether recipients can edit or just view files within your shared folder.
Those features are unique to Dropbox and could give it a significant advantage over the competitors. New Remote wipe also lets you delete your Dropbox files from a lost or stolen device while keeping them safely backed up in Dropbox.
