The only comment I will say about Dropbox is the price, I wish they would do a 100GB tier or something for £1.99 a month.

I really cannot justify paying £7.99 a month for 1TB of storage, especially when I'll most likely use less than 10% of that space

This often comes up regarding Dropbox. It's not that Dropbox couldn't offer a cheaper tier than $10/month. It's that they don't want to.

$10/1TB is not a ratio to be arbitrarily divided, no matter how much people want to assume it should be. Dropbox would lose more revenue from customers downgrading from $10 to $2 than they would gain from the few customers that care about the difference between $0 and $2.

$10 is the floor for Dropbox to care enough to serve any customer. It's a version of "fire your pathological customers", or rather to never acquire them in the first place. SaaS vendors know that the cheapest customers are the biggest headaches. If you care about the difference between $5 and $10, Dropbox doesn't need to care about serving you.

I also pay dropbox, but I never checked the size. I think when I started it was like 50 GB for the same amount of money. You pay for the service and softwaredevelopment. The storage is just what they can give you cheaply.

I use 6% of the 1 TB and it definitely feels like they could have a smaller tier. I gladly pay for it though, for now. As recently as last week it saved my ass after I deleted ~200 files that I thought were tracked in git.
